/** An annotation that designates that inheriting from a class is deprecated.
*
* This is usually done to warn about a non-final class being made final in a future version.
* Sub-classing such a class then generates a warning.
*
* No warnings are generated if the subclass is in the same compilation unit.
*
* Library authors should state the library's deprecation policy in their documentation to give
* developers guidance on when a type annotated with `@deprecatedInheritance` will be `final`ized.
*
* Library authors should prepend the name of their library to the version number to help
* developers distinguish deprecations coming from different libraries:
*
* {{{
* @deprecatedInheritance("this class will be made final", "FooLib 12.0")
* class Foo
* }}}
*
* {{{
* val foo = new Foo // no deprecation warning
* class Bar extends Foo
* // warning: inheritance from class Foo is deprecated (since FooLib 12.0): this class will be made final
* // class Bar extends Foo
* // ^
* }}}
*
* @param message the message to print during compilation if the class was sub-classed
* @param since a string identifying the first version in which inheritance was deprecated
* @since 2.10
* @see [[scala.deprecated]]
* @see [[scala.deprecatedOverriding]]
* @see [[scala.deprecatedName]]
