/**
 * The presence of this annotation on a type indicates that the type may be used with the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). When applied to a method,
 * the return type of the method is GWT compatible. It's useful to indicate that an instance created
 * by factory methods has a GWT serializable type. In the following example,
 *
 *  * {@literal @}GwtCompatible
 * class Lists {
 *   ...
 *   {@literal @}GwtCompatible(serializable = true)
 *   {@literal static  List} newArrayList(E... elements) {
 *     ...
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * The return value of {@code Lists.newArrayList(E[])} has GWT serializable type. It is also
 * useful in specifying contracts of interface methods. In the following example,
 *
 * 
 * {@literal @}GwtCompatible
 * interface ListFactory {
 *   ...
 *   {@literal @}GwtCompatible(serializable = true)
 *   {@literal  List} newArrayList(E... elements);
 * }
 * 
 *
 * The {@code newArrayList(E[])} method of all implementations of {@code ListFactory} is expected
 * to return a value with a GWT serializable type.
 *
 * Note that a {@code GwtCompatible} type may have some {@link GwtIncompatible} methods.
