/**
 * Identifies qualifier annotations. Anyone can define a new qualifier. A
 * qualifier annotation:
 *
 * 
 *   is annotated with {@code @Qualifier}, {@code @Retention(RUNTIME)},
 *      and typically {@code @Documented}.
 *   can have attributes.
 *   may be part of the public API, much like the dependency type, but
 *      unlike implementation types which needn't be part of the public
 *      API.
 *   may have restricted usage if annotated with {@code @Target}. While
 *      this specification covers applying qualifiers to fields and
 *      parameters only, some injector configurations might use qualifier
 *      annotations in other places (on methods or classes for example).
 * 
 *
 * For example:
 *
 * 
 *   @java.lang.annotation.Documented
 *   @java.lang.annotation.Retention(RUNTIME)
 *   @com.facebook.presto.jdbc.internal.inject.Qualifier
 *   public @interface Leather {
 *     Color color() default Color.TAN;
 *     public enum Color { RED, BLACK, TAN }
 *   }
 *
 * @see com.facebook.presto.jdbc.internal.inject.Named @Named
