/**
* A {@code Messager} provides the way for an annotation processor to
* report error messages, warnings, and other notices. Elements,
* annotations, and annotation values can be passed to provide a
* location hint for the message. However, such location hints may be
* unavailable or only approximate.
*
* Printing a message with an {@linkplain
* javax.tools.Diagnostic.Kind#ERROR error kind} will {@linkplain
* RoundEnvironment#errorRaised raise an error}.
*
*
Note that the messages "printed" by methods in this
* interface may or may not appear as textual output to a location
* like {@link System#out} or {@link System#err}. Implementations may
* choose to present this information in a different fashion, such as
* messages in a window.
