33  * annotated element (and in all program elements contained in the annotated
34  * element).  Note that the set of warnings suppressed in a given element is
35  * a superset of the warnings suppressed in all containing elements.  For
36  * example, if you annotate a class to suppress one warning and annotate a
37  * method to suppress another, both warnings will be suppressed in the method.
38  *
39  * <p>As a matter of style, programmers should always use this annotation
40  * on the most deeply nested element where it is effective.  If you want to
41  * suppress a warning in a particular method, you should annotate that
42  * method rather than its class.
