/**
* A base class for static annotations. These are available to the Scala type checker or Scala
* reflection, even across different compilation units.
*
* Annotation classes defined in Scala are not stored in classfiles in a Java-compatible manner
* and therefore not visible in Java reflection. In order to achieve this, the annotation has to
* be written in Java.
