 * This annotation documents that instances of the annotated class are immutable. This means that its state is seen to others as
 * never being changed, even though the actual private internal state may indeed change. Therefore, in an immutable class:
 * 

 * all public fields are final; and
 * all public final reference fields refer to other immutable objects; and
 * constructors and methods do not publish references to any internal state which is potentially mutable by the
 * implementation.
