/** <p>
* A marker for annotations that, when applied to a type,
* should be treated as a constraint on the annotated type.
* A proper constraint should restrict the type based only
* on information mentioned within the type. A Scala compiler
* can use this assumption to rewrite the contents of the
* constraint as necessary. To contrast, a type annotation
* whose meaning depends on the context where it is written
* down is not a proper constrained type, and this marker
* should not be applied. A Scala compiler will drop such
* annotations in cases where it would rewrite a type constraint.
