/**
 * Indicates that no other value is {@code equals()} to the given value. Therefore, it is correct to
 * use == to test an InternedDistinct value for equality against any other value.
 *
 * This is a stronger property than {@link Interned}, but a weaker property than every value of a
 * Java type being interned.
 *
 * This annotation is trusted, not verified.
