/**
 * A base class for static annotations. These are available to the Scala type checker or Scala
 * reflection, even across different compilation units.
 *
 * Annotation classes defined in Scala are not stored in classfiles in a Java-compatible manner
 * and therefore not visible in Java reflection. In order to achieve this, the annotation has to
 * be written in Java.
