/**
* A special annotation intended solely for representing the bottom type in the qualifier hierarchy.
* It should not be used! Instead, each type system should define its own dedicated bottom type.
*
* This qualifier is used automatically if the existing qualifiers do not have a bottom type.
* This only works the user never runs two type systems together. Furthermore, because it has no
* {@code @RetentionPolicy} meta-annotation, this qualifier will not be stored in bytecode. So, only
* use this qualifier during prototyping of very simple type systems. For realistic systems,
* introduce a top and bottom qualifier that gets stored in bytecode.
*
*
To use this qualifier, the type system designer needs to use methods like {@code
* ImplicitsTreeAnnotator.addTreeKind()} to add default annotations and needs to manually add the
* bottom qualifier to the qualifier hierarchy.
*
*
See {@code QualifierHierarchy.getBottomAnnotations()}
