/**
* Signifies that a public API (public class, method or field) is subject to incompatible changes,
* or even removal, in a future release. An API bearing this annotation is exempt from any
* compatibility guarantees made by its containing library. Note that the presence of this
* annotation implies nothing about the quality or performance of the API in question, only the fact
* that it is not "API-frozen."
*
* It is generally safe for applications to depend on beta APIs, at the cost of some extra
* work during upgrades. However it is generally inadvisable for libraries (which get
* included on users' CLASSPATHs, outside the library developers' control) to do so.
