/**
* This annotation is applied to a annotation, and marks the annotation as being
* a qualifier nickname. Applying a nickname annotation X to a element Y should
* be interpreted as having the same meaning as applying all of annotations of X
* (other than QualifierNickname) to Y.
*
*
* Thus, you might define a qualifier SocialSecurityNumber as follows:
*
*
*
* @Documented
* @TypeQualifierNickname @Pattern("[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{4}")
* @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
* public @interface SocialSecurityNumber {
* }
*
