/**
 * Indicates that the given expressions evaluate to an integer whose value is less than the lengths
 * of all the given sequences, if the method returns the given result (either true or false).
 *
 * As an example, consider the following method:
 *
 * 
 *      @EnsuresLTLengthOfIf(
 *          expression = "end",
 *          result = true,
 *          targetValue = "array",
 *          offset = "#1 - 1"
 *      )
 *      public boolean tryShiftIndex(@NonNegative int x) {
 *          int newEnd = end - x;
 *          if (newEnd < 0) return false;
 *          end = newEnd;
 *          return true;
 *      }
 * 
 *
 * Calling this function ensures that the field {@code end} of the {@code this} object is of type
 * {@code @LTLengthOf(value = "array", offset = "x - 1")}, for the value {@code x} that is passed as
 * the argument. This allows the Index Checker to verify that {@code end + x} is an index into
 * {@code array} in the following code:
 *
 *  *      public void useTryShiftIndex(@NonNegative int x) {
 *          if (tryShiftIndex(x)) {
 *              Arrays.fill(array, end, end + x, null);
 *          }
 *      }
 *
