/**
 * Signifies that a public API (public class, method or field) is subject to incompatible changes,
 * or even removal, in a future release. An API bearing this annotation is exempt from any
 * compatibility guarantees made by its containing library. Note that the presence of this
 * annotation implies nothing about the quality or performance of the API in question, only the fact
 * that it is not "API-frozen."
 *
 * It is generally safe for applications to depend on beta APIs, at the cost of some extra
 * work during upgrades. However it is generally inadvisable for libraries (which get
 * included on users' CLASSPATHs, outside the library developers' control) to do so.
