* Inspired from {@code org.jetbrains.annotations.Contract}, this variant has been introduce in the
* {@code org.springframework.lang} package to avoid requiring an extra dependency, while still following the same semantics.
* <p>Specifies some aspects of the method behavior depending on the arguments.
* Can be used by tools for advanced data flow analysis. Note that this annotation
* just describes how the code works and doesn't add any functionality by means of
* code generation.

* The constraints denote the following:<br/>
* <ul>
* <li> _ - any value
* <li> null - null value
* <li> !null - a value statically proved to be not-null
* <li> true - true boolean value
* <li> false - false boolean value
* <li> fail - the method throws an exception, if the arguments satisfy argument constraints
* <li> <code>_</code> - any value</li>
* <li> <code>null</code> - null value</li>
* <li> <code>!null</code> - a value statically proved to be not-null</li>
* <li> <code>true</code> - true boolean value</li>
* <li> <code>false</code> - false boolean value</li>
* <li> <code>fail</code> - the method throws an exception, if the arguments satisfy argument
* constraints</li>
* </ul>
* <p>Examples:
* <code>@Contract("_, null -> null")</code> - method returns null if its second argument is null<br/>
* <code>@Contract("_, null -> null; _, !null -> !null")</code> - method returns null if its second argument is null and not-null otherwise<br/>
* <code>@Contract("true -> fail")</code> - a typical assertFalse method which throws an exception if <code>true</code> is passed to it<br/>
* <code>@Contract("_, null -> null")</code> - method returns null if its second
* argument is null<br/>
* <code>@Contract("_, null -> null; _, !null -> !null")</code> - method returns
* null if its second argument is null and not-null otherwise<br/>
* <code>@Contract("true -> fail")</code> - a typical assertFalse method which
* throws an exception if <code>true</code> is passed to it<br/>
