@Documented @Retention(value=RUNTIME) @Target(value={ANNOTATION_TYPE,FIELD}) public @interface IgnoreInWholeProgramInference
1. As a meta-annotation indicating that an annotation type prevents whole-program inference.
For example, if the definition of @Inject is meta-annotated with
@IgnoreInWholeProgramInference:
@IgnoreInWholeProgramInference
@interface Inject { }
then no type qualifier will be inferred for any field annotated by @Inject.
This is appropriate for fields that are set reflectively, so there are no calls in client code
that type inference can learn from. Examples of qualifiers that should be meta-annotated with
@IgnoreInWholeProgramInference include @Inject, @Singleton,
and @Option.
2. As a field annotation indicating that no type qualifier will be inferred for the field it annotates.
