+/**
+ * Indicates than an API is only supported on platform versions of at least the given value and
+ * later.
+ *
+ * Currently, this annotations is purely informational. The exact meaning of this annotation depends
+ * on it's context:
+ * <ul>
+ *     <li>On a public SDK method, it means that the member should only be included in the SDK of
+ *     the given version or later</li>
+ *     <li>On a module API, it will mean that it should only be called when running on a device with
+ *     the given SDK or later</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * In future, the annotation will acquire further semantics:
+ * <ul>
+ *     <li>Classes annotated with this will only be classloaded on devices running the given SDK
+ *     version or later.</li>
+ *     <li>It will be used to ensure API safety at build time in the context of a codebase with
+ *     different parts having different min SDK versions.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * This annotation should only be used on code that exports an API (either public SDK or
+ * {@code @SystemApi}. For code that just calls APIs that only exist on newer platform versions
+ * use {@code androidx.annotation.RequiresApi} instead.
