/**
* The field or method to which this annotation is applied can only be accessed
* when holding a particular lock, which may be a built-in (synchronization)
* lock, or may be an explicit {@link java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock}.
* <p>
* The argument determines which lock guards the annotated field or method:
* <ul>
* <li>this : The string literal "this" means that this field is guarded by the
* class in which it is defined.
* <li>class-name.this : For inner classes, it may be necessary to disambiguate
* 'this'; the class-name.this designation allows you to specify which 'this'
* reference is intended
* <li>itself : For reference fields only; the object to which the field refers.
* <li>field-name : The lock object is referenced by the (instance or static)
* field specified by field-name.
* <li>class-name.field-name : The lock object is reference by the static field
* specified by class-name.field-name.
* <li>method-name() : The lock object is returned by calling the named nil-ary
* method.
* <li>class-name.class : The Class object for the specified class should be
* used as the lock object.
* </ul>
