/**
 * Indicates that the given expressions of type Optional<T> are present, if the method returns
 * the given result (either true or false).
 *
 * Here are ways this conditional postcondition annotation can be used:
 *
 * 
Method parameters: Suppose that a method has two arguments of type Optional<T>
 * and returns true if they are both equal and present. You could annotate the method as
 * follows:
 *
 * 
  @EnsuresPresentIf(expression="#1", result=true)
 *  @EnsuresPresentIf(expression="#2", result=true)
 *  public <T> boolean isPresentAndEqual(Optional<T> optA, Optional<T> optB) { ... }
 * 
 *
 * because, if {@code isPresentAndEqual} returns true, then the first (#1) argument to {@code
 * isPresentAndEqual} was present, and so was the second (#2) argument. Note that you can write two
 * {@code @EnsuresPresentIf} annotations on a single method.
 *
 * Fields: The value expressions can refer to fields, even private ones. For example:
 *
 * 
  @EnsuresPresentIf(expression="this.optShape", result=true)
 *  public boolean isShape() {
 *    return (this.optShape != null && this.optShape.isPresent());
 *  }
 *
 * An {@code @EnsuresPresentIf} annotation that refers to a private field is useful for verifying
 * that a method establishes a property, even though client code cannot directly affect the field.
 *
 * Method postconditions: Suppose that if a method {@code isRectangle()} returns true,
 * then {@code getRectangle()} will return a present Optional. You an express this relationship as:
 *
 * 
{@code  @EnsuresPresentIf(result=true, expression="getRectangle()")
 * public @Pure isRectangle() { ... }}
 *
 * @see Present
 * @see EnsuresPresent
 * @checker_framework.manual #optional-checker Optional Checker
