// TODO(bangert): Allow restricting entire classes.
/**
 * Restrict this method to callsites with a whitelist annotation.
 *
 * 

Callers that are not whitelisted will cause a configurable compiler diagnostic. Whitelisting * can either allow the call outright, or make the compiler emit a warning when the API is called. * Paths matching a regular expression, e.g. unit tests, can also be excluded. * *

The following example shows a hypothetical, potentially unsafe {@code Foo.bar} method. It is * marked with the {@code @RestrictedApi} annotations such that callers annotated with * {@code @LegacyUnsafeFooBar} raise a warning, whereas the {@code @ReviewedFooBar} annotation * silently allows the call. * *

The {@code @LegacyUnsafeFooBar} annotation can be used to allow existing call sites until they * are refactored, while prohibiting new call-sites. Call-sites determined to be acceptable, for * example through code review, could be marked {@code @ReviewedFooBar}. * *

{@code
 * public {@literal @}interface LegacyUnsafeFooBar{}

 *      explanation="You could shoot yourself in the foot with Foo.bar if you aren't careful",
 *      link="http://edsger.dijkstra/foo_bar_consider_harmful.html",
 *      allowedOnPath="testsuite/.*", // Unsafe behavior in tests is ok.
 *      whitelistAnnotations = {ReviewedFooBar.class},
 *      whitelistWithWarningAnnotations = {LegacyUnsafeFooBar.class})
 *   public void bar() {
 *      if (complicatedCondition) {
 *          shoot_your_foot();
