/**
 * An expression of type {@code @MustCall({"m1", "m2"})} may be obligated to call {@code m1()}
 * and/or {@code m2()} before it is deallocated, but it is not obligated to call any other methods.
 *
 * This annotation is enforced by the Object Construction Checker's {@code -AcheckMustCall} mode.
 * It enforces that the methods {@code m1()} and {@code m2()} are called on the annotated expression
 * before it is deallocated.

 * 
The subtyping relationship is:
 *
 * 
{@code @MustCall({"m1"}) <: @MustCall({"m1", "m2"})}
