/**
 * Represents a construct that can be annotated.
 *
 * A construct is either an {@linkplain
 * javax.lang.model.element.Element element} or a {@linkplain
 * javax.lang.model.type.TypeMirror type}.  Annotations on an element
 * are on a <em>declaration</em>, whereas annotations on a type are on
 * a specific <em>use</em> of a type name.
 *
 * As defined by <cite>The Java Language Specification</cite>
 * section {@jls 9.7.4}, an annotation on an element is a
 * <dfn>{@index "declaration annotation"}</dfn> and an annotation on a type is a
 * <dfn>{@index "type annotation"}</dfn>.
 *
 * The terms <em>directly present</em>, <em>present</em>,
 * <em>indirectly present</em>, and <em>associated</em> are used
 * throughout this interface to describe precisely which annotations,
 * either declaration annotations or type annotations, are returned by
 * the methods in this interface.
 *
 * <p>In the definitions below, an annotation <i>A</i> has an
 * annotation interface <i>AI</i>. If <i>AI</i> is a repeatable annotation
 * interface, the type of the container annotation is <i>AIC</i>.
 *
 * <p>Annotation <i>A</i> is <dfn>{@index "directly present"}</dfn> on a construct
 * <i>C</i> if either:
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li><i>A</i> is {@linkplain
 * javax.lang.model.util.Elements#getOrigin(AnnotatedConstruct,
 * AnnotationMirror) explicitly or implicitly}
 * declared as applying to
 * the source code representation of <i>C</i>.
 *
 * <p>Typically, if exactly one annotation of type <i>AI</i> appears in
 * the source code of representation of <i>C</i>, then <i>A</i> is
 * explicitly declared as applying to <i>C</i>.
 *
 * An annotation of type <i>AI</i> on a {@linkplain
 * RecordComponentElement record component} can be implicitly propagated
 * down to affiliated mandated members. Type annotations modifying the
 * type of a record component can be also propagated to mandated
 * members. Propagation of the annotations to mandated members is
 * governed by rules given in the <cite>The Java Language
 * Specification</cite> (JLS {@jls 8.10.1}).
 *
 * If there are multiple annotations of type <i>AI</i> present on
 * <i>C</i>, then if <i>AI</i> is a repeatable annotation interface, an
 * annotation of type <i>AIC</i> is {@linkplain javax.lang.model.util.Elements#getOrigin(AnnotatedConstruct, AnnotationMirror) implicitly declared} on <i>C</i>.
 * <li> A representation of <i>A</i> appears in the executable output
 * for <i>C</i>, such as the {@code RuntimeVisibleAnnotations} (JVMS {@jvms 4.7.16}) or
 * {@code RuntimeVisibleParameterAnnotations} (JVMS {@jvms 4.7.17}) attributes of a class
 * file.
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>An annotation <i>A</i> is <dfn>{@index "present"}</dfn> on a
 * construct <i>C</i> if either:
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li><i>A</i> is directly present on <i>C</i>.
 *
 * <li>No annotation of type <i>AI</i> is directly present on
 * <i>C</i>, and <i>C</i> is a class and <i>AI</i> is inheritable
 * and <i>A</i> is present on the superclass of <i>C</i>.
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * An annotation <i>A</i> is <dfn>{@index "indirectly present"}</dfn> on a construct
 * <i>C</i> if both:
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li><i>AI</i> is a repeatable annotation interface with a containing
 * annotation interface <i>AIC</i>.
 *
 * <li>An annotation of type <i>AIC</i> is directly present on
 * <i>C</i> and <i>A</i> is an annotation included in the result of
 * calling the {@code value} method of the directly present annotation
 * of type <i>AIC</i>.
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * An annotation <i>A</i> is <dfn>{@index "associated"}</dfn> with a construct
 * <i>C</i> if either:
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li> <i>A</i> is directly or indirectly present on <i>C</i>.
 *
 * <li> No annotation of type <i>AI</i> is directly or indirectly
 * present on <i>C</i>, and <i>C</i> is a class, and <i>AI</i> is
 * inheritable, and <i>A</i> is associated with the superclass of
 * <i>C</i>.

 * </ul>
