/**
 * An integer that is either -1 or is a valid index for each of the given sequences.
 *
 * The 
 * {@code String.indexOf(String)} method is declared as
 *
 * 

 *   class String {
 *    {@literal @}IndexOrLow("this") int indexOf(String str) { ... }
 *   }
 * 
 *
 * Writing {@code @IndexOrLow("arr")} is equivalent to writing {@link
 * GTENegativeOne @GTENegativeOne} {@link LTLengthOf @LTLengthOf("arr")}, and that is how it is
 * treated internally by the checker. Thus, if you write an {@code @IndexOrLow("arr")} annotation,
 * you might see warnings about {@code @GTENegativeOne} or {@code @LTLengthOf}.
 *
 * @see GTENegativeOne
