/**
* The Priority annotation can be applied to classes
* or parameters to indicate in what order they should be used.
* The effect of using the Priority annotation in
* any particular instance is defined by other specifications that
* define the use of a specific class.
*
* For example, the Interceptors specification defines the use of
* priorities on interceptors to control the order in which
* interceptors are called.
*
* Priority values should generally be non-negative, with negative values
* reserved for special meanings such as "undefined" or "not specified".
* A specification that defines use of the Priority annotation may define
* the range of allowed priorities and any priority values with special
* meaning.
