/**
* This annotation is used on a formal parameter to indicate that the parameter is not leaked
* (stored in a location that could be accessed later) nor returned by the method body.
*
* For example, the parameter of {@link String#String(String s)} is {@code @NonLeaked}, because
* the method only uses the parameter to make a copy of it.
*
*
This annotation is currently trusted, not checked.

// This is a type qualifier because of a Checker Framework limitation (Issue 383), but its hierarchy
// is ignored. Once the stub parser gets updated to read non-type-qualifiers annotations on stub
// files, this annotation won't be a type qualifier anymore.
