@SubtypeOf(LessThanUnknown.class)
public @interface LessThan
```
An annotation indicating the relationship between values with a byte, short, char, int, or long type.
If an expression's type has this annotation, then at run time, the expression evaluates to a value that is less than the value of the expression in the annotation.
@LessThan("end + 1") is equivalent to @LessThanOrEqual("end").
Subtyping:
- @LessThan({"a", "b"}) <: @LessThan({"a"})
- @LessThan({"a", "b"}) is not related to @LessThan({"a", "c"}).
