/**
 * Annotates a program element (class, method, package, etc.) which is not a part of a public API,
 * and thus should not be used.
 *
 * <p>If the annotation is used for a constructor, a field, a method, or a package, it means
 * that corresponding element is internal to the Spine Event Engine and as such should
 * not be used programmers using the framework.
 *
 * <p>If the annotation is used for a type it may mean one of the following:
 * <ol>
 *     <li>This type is internal to the Spine Event Engine framework.
 *
 *     <li><p>The type is internal to a bounded context, artifact of which exposes the type to
 *     the outside world (presumably for historical reasons).</p>
 *
 *     <p>The type with this annotation can be used only inside the bounded context
 *     which declares it.</p>
 *
 *     <p>The type must not be used neither for inbound (i.e. being sent to the bounded context
 *     which declares this type) nor for outbound communication (i.e. being sent by this bounded
 *     context outside).</p>
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>If you plan to implement an extension which is going to be wired into the framework,
 * you may want to use the internal parts. Please consider consulting with the Spine
 * development team, as the internal APIs do not have the same stability API guarantee as
 * public ones.
 *
 * <p>See {@link SPI} annotation if you plan to write an extension of the framework.
