/**
* A common annotation to declare that annotated elements can be {@code null} under
* some circumstance. Leverages JSR 305 meta-annotations to indicate nullability in Java
* to common tools with JSR 305 support and used by Kotlin to infer nullability of the API.
* <p>Should be used at parameter, return value, and field level. Methods override should
* repeat parent {@code @Nullable} annotations unless they behave differently.
* <p>Can be used in association with {@code NonNullApi} or {@code @NonNullFields} to
* override the default non-nullable semantic to nullable.
* <p>
