/**
 * Indicates that the method, if it terminates by throwing an {@link Exception}, always invokes the
 * given methods on the given expressions. This annotation is repeatable, which means that users can
 * write more than one instance of it on the same method (users should NOT manually write an
 * {@code @EnsuresCalledMethodsOnException.List} annotation, which the checker will create from
 * multiple copies of this annotation automatically).
 *
 * Consider the following method:
 *
 * 
 * @EnsuresCalledMethodsOnException(value = "#1", methods = "m")
 * public void callM(T t) { ... }
 * 
 *
 * The callM method promises to always call {@code t.m()} before throwing any kind
 * of {@link Exception}.
 *
 * Note that {@code EnsuresCalledMethodsOnException} only describes behavior for {@link
 * Exception} (and by extension {@link RuntimeException}, {@link NullPointerException}, etc.) but
 * not {@link Error} or other throwables.
 *
 * @see EnsuresCalledMethods
 * @checker_framework.manual #called-methods-checker Called Methods Checker
