29  * Denotes that the annotated method can be called from any thread (e.g. it is "thread safe".)
30  * If the annotated element is a class, then all methods in the class can be called
31  * from any thread.
32  * <p>
33  * The main purpose of this method is to indicate that you believe a method can be called
34  * from any thread; static tools can then check that nothing you call from within this method
35  * or class have more strict threading requirements.
36  * <p>
37  * Example:
38  * <pre><code>
39  *  &#64;AnyThread
40  *  public void deliverResult(D data) { ... }
41  * </code></pre>
