/**
 * Annotates a "top-level" type-variable usage that takes its nullness from the type argument
 * supplied by the user of the class. For example, {@code Multiset.Entry.getElement()} returns
 * {@code @ParametricNullness E}, which means:
 *
 * 
 *   {@code getElement} on a {@code Multiset.Entry<@NonNull String>} returns {@code @NonNull
 *       String}.
 *   
{@code getElement} on a {@code Multiset.Entry<@Nullable String>} returns {@code @Nullable
 *       String}.
 * 
 *
 * This is the same behavior as type-variable usages have to Kotlin and to the Checker Framework.
 * Contrast the method above to:
 *
 * 
 *   methods whose return type is a type variable but which can never return {@code null},
 *       typically because the type forbids nullable type arguments: For example, {@code
 *       ImmutableList.get} returns {@code E}, but that value is never {@code null}. (Accordingly,
 *       {@code ImmutableList} is declared to forbid {@code ImmutableList<@Nullable String>}.)
 *   
methods whose return type is a type variable but which can return {@code null} regardless
 *       of the type argument supplied by the user of the class: For example, {@code
 *       ImmutableMap.get} returns {@code @Nullable E} because the method can return {@code null}
 *       even on an {@code ImmutableMap}.
 * 
 *
 * Consumers of this annotation include:
 *
 * 

 *   Kotlin, for which it makes the type-variable usage (a) a Kotlin platform type when the type
 *       argument is non-nullable and (b) nullable when the type argument is nullable. We use this
 *       to "undo" {@link ElementTypesAreNonnullByDefault}. It is the best we can do for Kotlin
 *       under our current constraints.
 *   
NullAway, which will treat it
 *       identically to {@code Nullable} as of version 0.9.9. To treat it that way before then,
 *       you can set {@code
 *       -XepOpt:NullAway:CustomNullableAnnotations=shaded.shaded.com.google.common.base.ParametricNullness,...,shaded.shaded.com.google.common.util.concurrent.ParametricNullness},
 *       where the {@code ...} contains the names of all the other {@code ParametricNullness}
 *       annotations in Guava. Or you might prefer to omit Guava from your {@code AnnotatedPackages}
 *       list.
 *   
J2ObjC
 *   
{@code NullPointerTester}, at least in the Android backport (where the type-use annotations
 *       {@code NullPointerTester} would need are not available) and in case of JDK-8202469
 * 
 *
 * This annotation is a temporary hack. We will remove it after we're able to adopt the JSpecify nullness annotations and tools no longer need
 * it.
