/**
* An annotation indicating the length of an array or a string. If an expression's type has this
* annotation, then at run time, the expression evaluates to an array or a string whose length is
* one of the annotation's arguments.
*
* For example, {@code String @ArrayLen(2) []} is the type for an array of two strings, and
* {@code String @ArrayLen({1, 2, 4, 8}) []} is the type for an array that contains 1, 2, 4, or 8
* strings.
