/**
 * 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.
