Annotation Type PolyKeyFor

@Documented
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({TYPE_USE,TYPE_PARAMETER})
@PolymorphicQualifier(UnknownKeyFor.class)
public @interface PolyKeyFor

A polymorphic qualifier for the Map Key (@KeyFor) type system.

Any method written using @PolyKeyFor conceptually has an arbitrary number of versions: one in which every instance of @PolyKeyFor has been replaced by @UnknownKeyFor, one in which every instance of @PolyKeyFor has been replaced by @KeyForBottom, and ones in which every instance of @PolyKeyFor has been replaced by @KeyFor, for every possible combination of map arguments.
