008/**
009 * Indicate that the named React4j compiler warnings should be suppressed in the
010 * annotated element (and in all program elements contained in the annotated
011 * element).  Note that the set of warnings suppressed in a given element is
012 * a superset of the warnings suppressed in all containing elements.  For
013 * example, if you annotate a class to suppress one warning and annotate a
014 * method to suppress another, both warnings will be suppressed in the method.
015 *
016 * <p>As a matter of style, programmers should always use this annotation
017 * on the most deeply nested element where it is effective.  If you want to
018 * suppress a warning in a particular method, you should annotate that
019 * method rather than its class.</p>
020 *
021 * <p>This class may be used instead of {@link SuppressWarnings} when the compiler
022 * is passed compiled classes. The {@link SuppressWarnings} has a source retention
023 * policy and is thus not available when the files are already compiled and is thus
024 * not useful when attempting to suppress warnings in already compiled code.</p>
