/**
 * {@link NonNull} is a type annotation that indicates that an expression is never {@code null}.
 *
 * For fields of a class, the {@link NonNull} annotation indicates that this field is never
 * {@code null} after the class has been fully initialized. Class initialization is
 * controlled by the Freedom Before Commitment type system, see {@link
 * org.checkerframework.checker.initialization.InitializationChecker} for more details.
 *
 * 
For static fields, the {@link NonNull} annotation indicates that this field is never {@code
 * null} after the containing class is initialized.
 *
 * 
This annotation is rarely written in source code, because it is the default.
 *
 * This annotation is associated with the {@link
 * org.checkerframework.checker.nullness.AbstractNullnessChecker}.
