/**
* Indicates that a variable has been interned, i.e., that the variable refers to the canonical
* representation of an object.
*
* To specify that all objects of a given type are interned, annotate the class declaration:
*
*
* public @Interned class MyInternedClass { ... }
*
*
* This is equivalent to annotating every use of MyInternedClass, in a declaration or elsewhere. For
* example, enum classes are implicitly so annotated.
