+/**
+ * The class to which this annotation is applied is immutable. This means that
+ * its state cannot be seen to change by callers, which implies that
+ * <ul>
+ * <li> all public fields are final, </li>
+ * <li> all public final reference fields refer to other immutable objects, and </li>
+ * <li> constructors and methods do not publish references to any internal state
+ * which is potentially mutable by the implementation. </li>
+ * </ul>
+ * Immutable objects may still have internal mutable state for purposes of performance
+ * optimization; some state variables may be lazily computed, so long as they are computed
+ * from immutable state and that callers cannot tell the difference.
+ * <p>
+ * Immutable objects are inherently thread-safe; they may be passed between threads or
+ * published without synchronization.
+ * <p>
+ * Based on code developed by Brian Goetz and Tim Peierls and concepts
+ * published in 'Java Concurrency in Practice' by Brian Goetz, Tim Peierls,
+ * Joshua Bloch, Joseph Bowbeer, David Holmes and Doug Lea.
