/**
 * A {@code Messager} provides the way for an annotation processor to
 * report error messages, warnings, and other notices.  Elements,
 * annotations, and annotation values can be passed to provide a
 * location hint for the message.  However, such location hints may be
 * unavailable or only approximate.
 *
 * <p>Printing a message with an {@linkplain
 * javax.tools.Diagnostic.Kind#ERROR error kind} will {@linkplain
 * RoundEnvironment#errorRaised raise an error}.
 *
 * <p>Note that the messages &quot;printed&quot; by methods in this
 * interface may or may not appear as textual output to a location
 * like {@link System#out} or {@link System#err}.  Implementations may
 * choose to present this information in a different fashion, such as
 * messages in a window.
