/**
* The annotated expression evaluates to an integer whose value is less than or equal to the lengths
* of all the given sequences. ("LTEq" stands for "Less than or equal to".)
*
* For example, an expression with type {@code @LTLengthOf({"a", "b"})} is less than or equal to
* both {@code a.length} and {@code b.length}. The sequences {@code a} and {@code b} might have
* different lengths.
*
*
{@code @LTEqLengthOf({"a"})} = {@code @LTLengthOf(value={"a"}, offset=-1)}, and
* {@code @LTEqLengthOf(value={"a"}, offset=x)} = {@code @LTLengthOf(value={"a"}, offset=x-1)} for
* any x.
