Annotation Type InternedDistinct

@Documented
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({TYPE_USE,TYPE_PARAMETER})
@SubtypeOf(Interned.class)
@DefaultFor(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.
