/**
 * Annotation used for turning off Groovy's auto visibility conventions.
 * By default, Groovy automatically turns package protected fields into properties
 * and makes package protected methods, constructors and classes public.
 * This annotation allows this feature to be turned
 * off and revert back to Java behavior if needed.
 *
 * Place it on classes, fields, constructors or methods of interest as follows:
 *  * {@code @}PackageScope class Bar {      // package protected
 *     {@code @}PackageScope int field    // package protected; not a property
 *     {@code @}PackageScope method(){}   // package protected
 * }
 * 
 * or for greater control, at the class level with one or more
 * PackageScopeTarget values:
 *  * import static groovy.transform.PackageScopeTarget.*
 * {@code @}PackageScope([CLASS, FIELDS])
 * class Foo {              // class will have package protected scope
 *     int field1, field2   // both package protected
 *     def method(){}       // public
 * }
 * {@code @}PackageScope(METHODS)
 * class Bar {         // public
 *     int field       // treated as a property
 *     def method1(){} // package protected
 *     def method2(){} // package protected
 * }
 * 
 *
 * This transformation is not frequently needed but can be useful in certain testing scenarios
 * or when using a third-party library or framework which relies upon package scoping.
 *
 * @since 1.8.0
