/**
 * Denotes that the annotated method can be called from any thread (e.g. it is
 * "thread safe".) If the annotated element is a class, then all methods in the
 * class can be called from any thread.
 * 
 * The main purpose of this method is to indicate that you believe a method can
 * be called from any thread; static tools can then check that nothing you call
 * from within this method or class have more strict threading requirements.
 * 

 * Example:
 *
 * 
 * 
 *  @AnyThread
 *  public void deliverResult(D data) { ... }
 * 
 * 
 *
 * @memberDoc This method is safe to call from any thread.
 * @hide
