/**
 * Indicates that the method, if it terminates successfully, always invokes the given methods on the
 * given expressions. This annotation is repeatable, which means that users can write more than one
 * instance of it on the same method (users should NOT manually write an
 * {@code @EnsuresCalledMethods.List} annotation, which the checker will create from multiple copies
 * of this annotation automatically).
 *
 * Consider the following method:
 *
 * 
 * @EnsuresCalledMethods(value = "#1", methods = "m")
 * public void callM(T t) { ... }
 * 
 *
 * This method guarantees that {@code t.m()} is always called before the method returns.
 *
 * 
If a class has any {@code @}{@link org.checkerframework.checker.mustcall.qual.Owning Owning}
 * fields, then one or more of its must-call methods should be annotated to indicate that the
 * must-call obligations are satisfied. The must-call methods are those named by the {@code @}{@link
 * org.checkerframework.checker.mustcall.qual.MustCall MustCall} or {@code @}{@link
 * org.checkerframework.checker.mustcall.qual.InheritableMustCall InheritableMustCall} annotation on
 * the class declaration, such as {@code close()}. Here is a common example:
 *
 * 
 * @EnsuresCalledMethods(value = {"owningField1", "owningField2"}, methods = "close")
 * public void close() { ... }
 * 
 *
 * @see EnsuresCalledMethodsIf
 * @see EnsuresCalledMethodsOnException
 * @checker_framework.manual #called-methods-checker Called Methods Checker
