/**
 * Instructs the Kotlin compiler to treat annotated Java class as pure implementation of given Kotlin interface.
 * "Pure" means here that each type parameter of class becomes non-platform type argument of that interface.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * class MyList<T> extends AbstractList<T> { ... }
 *
 * Methods defined in MyList<T> use T as platform, i.e. it's possible to perform unsafe operation in Kotlin:
 *  MyList<Int>().add(null) // compiles
 *
 * @PurelyImplements("kotlin.MutableList")
 * class MyPureList<T> extends AbstractList<T> { ... }
 *
 * Methods defined in MyPureList<T> overriding methods in MutableList use T as non-platform types:
 *  MyList<Int>().add(null) // Error
 *  MyList<Int?>().add(null) // Ok
