/**
* If a variable {@code x} has type {@code @GuardSatisfied}, then all lock expressions for {@code
* x}'s value are held.
*
* Written on a formal parameter (including the receiver), this annotation indicates that the
* {@literal @}{@link GuardedBy} type for the corresponding actual argument at the method call site
* is unknown at the method definition site, but any lock expressions that guard it are known to be
* held prior to the method call.
*
*
For example, the formal parameter of the String copy constructor, {@link String#String(String
* s)}, is annotated with {@code @GuardSatisfied}. This requires that all locks guarding the actual
* argument are held when the constructor is called. However, the definition of the constructor does
* not need to know what those locks are (and it cannot know, because the constructor can be called
* by arbitrary code).
