/**
* NOTE: This meta-annotation is not currently
* enforced.
*
* A meta-annotation that restricts the type-use locations where a type qualifier may be written.
* When written together with {@code @Target({ElementType.TYPE_USE})}, the given type qualifier may
* be written only at locations listed in the {@code @TargetLocations(...)} meta-annotation.
* {@code @Target({ElementType.TYPE_USE})} together with no {@code @TargetLocations(...)} means that
* the qualifier can be written on any type use.
*
*
This enables a type system designer to permit a qualifier to be written only in certain
* locations. For example, some type systems' top and bottom qualifier (such as {@link
* org.checkerframework.checker.nullness.qual.KeyForBottom}) should only be written on an explicit
* wildcard upper or lower bound. This meta-annotation is a declarative, coarse-grained approach to
* enable that. For finer-grained control, override {@code visit*} methods that visit trees in
* BaseTypeVisitor.
*
*
This annotation does not prevent the type system from defaulting, inferring, or computing the
* given type annotation at the given location. It only prevents users from writing an explicit
* annotation at the given location.
