/**
* An expression with this type is exactly the same as an {@link IntRange} annotation whose {@code
* from} field is {@code -1} and whose {@code to} field is {@code Integer.MAX_VALUE}. However, this
* annotation is derived from an {@code org.checkerframework.checker.index.qual.GTENegativeOne}
* annotation.
*
* IntRangeFromGTENegativeOne annotations derived from GTENegativeOne annotations are used to
* create IntRange annotations, but IntRangeFromGTENegativeOne annotations are not checked when they
* appear on the left hand side of expressions. Therefore, the Index Checker MUST be run on any code
* with @GTENegativeOne annotations on the left-hand side of expressions, since the Value Checker
* will derive information from them but not check them.
*
*
It is an error to write this annotation directly. {@code @GTENegativeOne} or {@code
* IntRange(from = -1, to = Integer.MAX_VALUE)} should always be written instead. This annotation is
* not retained in bytecode, but is replaced with {@code @UnknownVal}, so that it is not enforced on
* method boundaries. The {@code @GTENegativeOne} annotation it replaced is retained in bytecode by
* the Lower Bound Checker instead.
