/**
* Represents an annotated element of the program currently running in this
* VM. This interface allows annotations to be read reflectively. All
* annotations returned by methods in this interface are immutable and
* serializable. The arrays returned by methods of this interface may be modified
* by callers without affecting the arrays returned to other callers.
*
* <p>The {@link #getAnnotationsByType(Class)} and {@link
* #getDeclaredAnnotationsByType(Class)} methods support multiple
* annotations of the same type on an element. If the argument to
* either method is a repeatable annotation type (JLS 9.6), then the
* method will "look through" a container annotation (JLS 9.7), if
* present, and return any annotations inside the container. Container
* annotations may be generated at compile-time to wrap multiple
* annotations of the argument type.
*
* <p>The terms <em>directly present</em>, <em>indirectly present</em>,
* <em>present</em>, and <em>associated</em> are used throughout this
* interface to describe precisely which annotations are returned by
* methods:
*
* <ul>
*
* <li> An annotation <i>A</i> is <em>directly present</em> on an
* element <i>E</i> if <i>E</i> has a {@code
* RuntimeVisibleAnnotations} or {@code
* RuntimeVisibleParameterAnnotations} or {@code
* RuntimeVisibleTypeAnnotations} attribute, and the attribute
* contains <i>A</i>.
*
* <li>An annotation <i>A</i> is <em>indirectly present</em> on an
* element <i>E</i> if <i>E</i> has a {@code RuntimeVisibleAnnotations} or
* {@code RuntimeVisibleParameterAnnotations} or {@code RuntimeVisibleTypeAnnotations}
* attribute, and <i>A</i> 's type is repeatable, and the attribute contains
* exactly one annotation whose value element contains <i>A</i> and whose
* type is the containing annotation type of <i>A</i> 's type.
*
* <li>An annotation <i>A</i> is <em>present</em> on an element <i>E</i> if either:
*
* <ul>
*
* <li><i>A</i> is directly present on <i>E</i>; or
*
* <li>No annotation of <i>A</i> 's type is directly present on
* <i>E</i>, and <i>E</i> is a class, and <i>A</i> 's type is
* inheritable, and <i>A</i> is present on the superclass of <i>E</i>.
*
* </ul>
*
* <li>An annotation <i>A</i> is <em>associated</em> with an element <i>E</i>
* if either:
*
* <ul>
*
* <li><i>A</i> is directly or indirectly present on <i>E</i>; or
*
* <li>No annotation of <i>A</i> 's type is directly or indirectly
* present on <i>E</i>, and <i>E</i> is a class, and <i>A</i>'s type
* is inheritable, and <i>A</i> is associated with the superclass of
* <i>E</i>.
*
* </ul>
*
* </ul>

* different methods in this interface examine.

*
* <p>For an invocation of {@code get[Declared]AnnotationsByType(Class <T>)},
* the order of annotations which are directly or indirectly
* present on an element <i>E</i> is computed as if indirectly present
* annotations on <i>E</i> are directly present on <i>E</i> in place
* of their container annotation, in the order in which they appear in
* the value element of the container annotation.
*
* <p>There are several compatibility concerns to keep in mind if an
* annotation type <i>T</i> is originally <em>not</em> repeatable and
* later modified to be repeatable.
*
* The containing annotation type for <i>T</i> is <i>TC</i>.
*
* <ul>
*
* <li>Modifying <i>T</i> to be repeatable is source and binary
* compatible with existing uses of <i>T</i> and with existing uses
* of <i>TC</i>.
*
* That is, for source compatibility, source code with annotations of
* type <i>T</i> or of type <i>TC</i> will still compile. For binary
* compatibility, class files with annotations of type <i>T</i> or of
* type <i>TC</i> (or with other kinds of uses of type <i>T</i> or of
* type <i>TC</i>) will link against the modified version of <i>T</i>
* if they linked against the earlier version.
*
* (An annotation type <i>TC</i> may informally serve as an acting
* containing annotation type before <i>T</i> is modified to be
* formally repeatable. Alternatively, when <i>T</i> is made
* repeatable, <i>TC</i> can be introduced as a new type.)
*
* <li>If an annotation type <i>TC</i> is present on an element, and
* <i>T</i> is modified to be repeatable with <i>TC</i> as its
* containing annotation type then:
*
* <ul>
*
* <li>The change to <i>T</i> is behaviorally compatible with respect
* to the {@code get[Declared]Annotation(Class<T>)} (called with an
* argument of <i>T</i> or <i>TC</i>) and {@code
* get[Declared]Annotations()} methods because the results of the
* methods will not change due to <i>TC</i> becoming the containing
* annotation type for <i>T</i>.
*
* <li>The change to <i>T</i> changes the results of the {@code
* get[Declared]AnnotationsByType(Class<T>)} methods called with an
* argument of <i>T</i>, because those methods will now recognize an
* annotation of type <i>TC</i> as a container annotation for <i>T</i>
* and will "look through" it to expose annotations of type <i>T</i>.
*
* </ul>
*
* <li>If an annotation of type <i>T</i> is present on an
* element and <i>T</i> is made repeatable and more annotations of
* type <i>T</i> are added to the element:
*
* <ul>
*
* <li> The addition of the annotations of type <i>T</i> is both
* source compatible and binary compatible.
*
* <li>The addition of the annotations of type <i>T</i> changes the results
* of the {@code get[Declared]Annotation(Class<T>)} methods and {@code
* get[Declared]Annotations()} methods, because those methods will now
* only see a container annotation on the element and not see an
* annotation of type <i>T</i>.
*
* <li>The addition of the annotations of type <i>T</i> changes the
* results of the {@code get[Declared]AnnotationsByType(Class<T>)}
* methods, because their results will expose the additional
* annotations of type <i>T</i> whereas previously they exposed only a
* single annotation of type <i>T</i>.
*
* </ul>
*
* </ul>
*
* <p>If an annotation returned by a method in this interface contains
* (directly or indirectly) a {@link Class}-valued member referring to
* a class that is not accessible in this VM, attempting to read the class
* by calling the relevant Class-returning method on the returned annotation
* will result in a {@link TypeNotPresentException}.
*
* <p>Similarly, attempting to read an enum-valued member will result in
* a {@link EnumConstantNotPresentException} if the enum constant in the
* annotation is no longer present in the enum type.
*
* <p>If an annotation type <i>T</i> is (meta-)annotated with an
* {@code @Repeatable} annotation whose value element indicates a type
* <i>TC</i>, but <i>TC</i> does not declare a {@code value()} method
* with a return type of <i>T</i>{@code []}, then an exception of type
* {@link java.lang.annotation.AnnotationFormatError} is thrown.
*
* <p>Finally, attempting to read a member whose definition has evolved
* incompatibly will result in a {@link
* java.lang.annotation.AnnotationTypeMismatchException} or an
* {@link java.lang.annotation.IncompleteAnnotationException}.
