/**
* Signifies that a public API (public class, method or field) is subject to
* incompatible changes, or even removal, in a future release. An API bearing
* this annotation is exempt from any compatibility guarantees made by its
* containing library. Note that the presence of this annotation implies nothing
* about the quality or performance of the API in question, only the fact that
* it is not "API-frozen."
*
* <p>
* It is generally safe for <i>applications</i> to depend on beta APIs, at the
* cost of some extra work during upgrades. However it is generally inadvisable
* for <i>libraries</i> (which get included on users' CLASSPATHs, outside the
* library developers' control) to do so.
