Annotation Type InternedDistinct

@Documented
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value={TYPE_USE,TYPE_PARAMETER})
 @SubtypeOf(value=Interned.class)
 @DefaultFor(value=LOWER_BOUND)
public @interface InternedDistinct

Indicates that no other value is equals() to the given value. Therefore, it is correct to use == to test an InternedDistinct value for equality against any other value.

This is a stronger property than Interned, but a weaker property than every value of a Java type being interned.

This annotation is trusted, not verified.
