-/**
- * This annotation can be applied to the value() element of an annotation that
- * is annotated as a TypeQualifier. This is only appropriate if the value field
- * returns a value that is an Enumeration.
- *
- * Applications of the type qualifier with different values are exclusive, and
- * the enumeration is an exhaustive list of the possible values.
- *
- * For example, the following defines a type qualifier such that if you know a
- * value is neither {@literal @Foo(Color.Red)} or {@literal @Foo(Color.Blue)},
- * then the value must be {@literal @Foo(Color.Green)}. And if you know it is
- * {@literal @Foo(Color.Green)}, you know it cannot be
- * {@literal @Foo(Color.Red)} or {@literal @Foo(Color.Blue)}
- *
- * <code>
- * @TypeQualifier @interface Foo {
- * enum Color {RED, BLUE, GREEN};
- * @Exhaustive Color value();
- * }
- * </code>
