/**
 * The Priority annotation can be applied to classes to indicate
 * in what order the classes should be used.  The effect of using
 * the Priority annotation in any particular instance is defined
 * by other specifications that define the use of a specific class.
 * 
 * For example, the Interceptors specification defines the use of
 * priorities on interceptors to control the order in which
 * interceptors are called.
 * 
 * Priority values should generally be non-negative, with negative values
 * reserved for special meanings such as "undefined" or "not specified".
 * A specification that defines use of the Priority annotation may define
 * the range of allowed priorities and any priority values with special
 * meaning.
