/** An annotation for methods whose bodies may be excluded
 *  from compiler-generated bytecode.
 *
 *  Behavior is influenced by passing `-Xelide-below <arg>` to `scalac`.
 *  Calls to methods marked elidable (as well as the method body) will
 *  be omitted from generated code if the priority given the annotation
 *  is lower than that given on the command line.
 *
 *  {{{
 *     @elidable(123)           // annotation priority
 *     scalac -Xelide-below 456 // command line priority
 *  }}}
 *
 *  The method call will be replaced with an expression which depends on
 *  the type of the elided expression.  In decreasing order of precedence:
 *
 *  {{{
 *    Unit            ()
 *    Boolean         false
 *    T <: AnyVal     0
 *    T >: Null       null
 *    T >: Nothing    Predef.???
 *  }}}
 *
 *  Complete example:
 {{{
   import scala.annotation._, elidable._
   object Test extends App {
     def expensiveComputation(): Int = { Thread.sleep(1000) ; 172 }

     @elidable(WARNING) def warning(msg: String) = println(msg)
