/**
 * This annotation, attached to a String type, indicates that the String may be passed to {@link
 * java.text.MessageFormat#format(String, Object...) MessageFormat.format}.
 *
 * The annotation's value represents the valid arguments that may be passed to the format method.
 * For example:
 *
 * 
{@literal @}I18nFormat({I18nConversionCategory.GENERAL, I18nConversionCategory.NUMBER})
 * String f = "{0}{1, number}"; // valid
 * String f = "{0} {1} {2}"; // error, the format string is stronger (more restrictive) than the specifiers.
 * String f = "{0, number} {1, number}"; // error, the format string is stronger (NUMBER is a subtype of GENERAL).
 * 
 *
 * The annotation indicates that the format string requires any object as the first parameter
 * ({@link I18nConversionCategory#GENERAL}) and a number as the second parameter ({@link
 * I18nConversionCategory#NUMBER}).
