/**
* This annotation is used to break out of a module's source path in hosted
* mode. Types annotated with this annotation will not be loaded by hosted
* mode's CompilingClassLoader. Instead, the bytecode for the type will be
* loaded from the system classloader.
*
* This annotation is typically combined with the super-source tag
* to provide web-mode implementations of (binary-only) types that the developer
* wishes to use in Development Mode. This can be used, for instance, to provide
* a reference implementation to develop unit tests.
*
* This annotation may also be applied to jsni methods to prevent them from
* being parsed and loaded for Development Mode. This is done under certain
* circumstances as an optimization to avoid loading very large jsni methods
* which are only executed in Production Mode.
*
* @deprecated since hosted/dev mode is deprecated and has no other uses.
