/**
 * <p>This annotation intended to help IDEA to detect and auto-complete int and String constants used as an enumeration.
 * For example, in the {@link java.awt.Label#Label(String, int)} constructor the <tt><b>alignment</b></tt> parameter can be one of the following
 * int constants: {@link java.awt.Label#LEFT}, {@link java.awt.Label#CENTER} or {@link java.awt.Label#RIGHT}
 *
 * <p>So, if <tt>@MagicConstant</tt> annotation applied to this constructor, IDEA will check the constructor usages for the allowed values.
 * <p>E.g.<br>
 *  <pre>{@code
 * new Label("text", 0); // 0 is not allowed
 * new Label("text", Label.LEFT); // OK
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * <tt>@MagicConstant</tt> can be applied to:
 * <ul>
 *  <li> Field, local variable, parameter.
 *
 *  <br>E.g. <br>
 * <pre>{@code @MagicConstant(intValues = {TOP, CENTER, BOTTOM})
 * int textPosition;
 * }</pre>
 * IDEA will check expressions assigned to the variable for allowed values:
 * <pre>{@code
 *  textPosition = 0; // not allowed
 *  textPosition = TOP; // OK
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <li> Method
 *
 * <br>E.g.<br>
 * <pre>{@code @MagicConstant(flagsFromClass = java.lang.reflect.Modifier.class)
 *  public native int getModifiers();
 * }</pre>
 *
 * IDEA will analyse getModifiers() method calls and check if its return value is used with allowed values:<br>
 * <pre>{@code
 *  if (aClass.getModifiers() == 3) // not allowed
 *  if (aClass.getModifiers() == Modifier.PUBLIC) // OK
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <li>Annotation class<br>
 * Annotation class annotated with <tt>@MagicConstant</tt> created alias you can use to annotate
 * everything as if it was annotated with <tt>@MagicConstant</tt> itself.
 *
 * <br>E.g.<br>
 * <pre>{@code @MagicConstant(flags = {Font.PLAIN, Font.BOLD, Font.ITALIC}) }</pre>
 * <pre>{@code @interface FontStyle {} }</pre>
 *
 * IDEA will check constructs annotated with @FontStyle for allowed values:<br>
 * <tt>@FontStyle int myStyle = 3; // not allowed<br></tt>
 * <tt>@FontStyle int myStyle = Font.BOLD | Font.ITALIC; // OK</tt><br>
 * </tt>
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * The <tt>@MagicConstant</tt> annotation has SOURCE retention, i.e. it is removed upon compilation and does not create any runtime overhead.
