/**
* Signifies that a public API (public class, method or field) is subject to
* incompatible changes, or even removal, in a future release. An API bearing
* this annotation is exempt from any compatibility guarantees made by its
* containing library. Note that the presence of this annotation implies nothing
* about the quality or performance of the API in question, only the fact that
* it is not "API-frozen."
*
* It is generally safe for applications to depend on beta APIs, at
* the cost of some extra work during upgrades. However it is generally
* inadvisable for libraries (which get included on users' CLASSPATHs,
* outside the library developers' control) to do so.
