/**
* {@code Pure} is a method annotation that means both {@link SideEffectFree} and {@link
* Deterministic}. The more important of these, when performing pluggable type-checking, is usually
* {@link SideEffectFree}.
*
* For a discussion of the meaning of {@code Pure} on a constructor, see the documentation of
* {@link Deterministic}.
*
*
This annotation is inherited by subtypes, just as if it were meta-annotated with
* {@code @InheritedAnnotation}.
*
* @checker_framework.manual #type-refinement-purity Side effects, determinism, purity, and
* flow-sensitive analysis
