/**
 * Signifies that the annotated program element is subject to incompatible changes by means of adding abstract methods.
 * This, in turn, means that implementing interfaces or extending classes annotated with {@link Evolving} bears the risk
 * of doing extra work during upgrades.
 * Using such program elements is no different from using ordinary unannotated program elements.
 * Note that the presence of this annotation implies nothing about the quality or performance of the API in question.
