/**
* An annotation that designates that an annottee should not be referred to after
* type checking (which includes macro expansion).
*
* Examples of potential use:
* 1) The annottee can only appear in the arguments of some other macro
* that will eliminate it from the AST during expansion.
* 2) The annottee is a macro and should have been expanded away,
* so if hasn't, something wrong has happened.
* (Comes in handy to provide better support for new macro flavors,
* e.g. macro annotations, that can't be expanded by the vanilla compiler).
*
* @param message the error message to print during compilation if a reference remains
* after type checking
