Class EntityAttribute
The store-neutral modeling vocabulary: one set of eQuantic-owned annotations that every provider
interprets — no driver attributes on entities ([BsonElement], EF's [Column]…), no rewrite
when an entity moves between stores. The names are deliberately distinct from
System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations so both can coexist without ambiguity.
Precedence is explicit and deterministic: conventions < annotations < fluent — the
annotations seed each provider's model builder, and fluent configuration overrides them. Each
provider honours the subset that maps to its store (the model's Explain() shows the outcome);
annotations outside a store's vocabulary are ignored, never errors.
