/**
 * {@code AssertMethod} is a method annotation that indicates that a method throws an exception if
 * the value of a boolean argument is false. This can be used to annotate methods such as JUnit's
 * {@code Assertions.assertTrue(...)}.
 *
 * The annotation enables flow-sensitive type refinement to be more precise. For example, if
 * {@code Assertions.assertTrue} is annotated as follows:
 *
 * 
@AssertMethod(value = AssertionFailedError.class)
 * public static void assertFalse(boolean condition);
 * 
 *
 * Then, in the code below, the Optional Checker can determine that {@code optional} has a value and
 * the call to {@code Optional#get} will not throw an exception.
 *
 *  * Assertions.assertTrue(optional.isPresent());
 * Object o = optional.get();
 * 
 *
 * This annotation is a trusted annotation, meaning that the Checker Framework does not
 * check whether the annotated method really does throw an exception depending on the boolean
 * expression.
