 * <p>{@code @GuardedBy({})} is the default type qualifier.
 *
 * <p>The argument is a string or set of strings that indicates the expression(s) that must be held,
 * using the <a href="https://checkerframework.org/manual/#java-expressions-as-arguments">syntax of
 * Java expressions</a> described in the manual. The expressions evaluate to an intrinsic (built-in,
 * synchronization) monitor or an explicit {@link java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock}. The expression
 * {@code "<self>"} is also permitted; the type {@code @GuardedBy("<self>") Object o} indicates that
 * the value referenced by {@code o} is guarded by the intrinsic (monitor) lock of the value
 * referenced by {@code o}.
 *
 * <p>Two {@code @GuardedBy} annotations with different argument expressions are unrelated by
 * subtyping.
