<P>
This annotation can be applied to a package, class or method to indicate that
the method parameters in that element are nullable by default unless there is:
<ul>
<li>An explicit nullness annotation
<li>The method overrides a method in a superclass (in which case the
annotation of the corresponding parameter in the superclass applies)
<li> there is a default parameter annotation applied to a more tightly nested
element.
</ul>
<p>This annotation implies the same "nullness" as no annotation. However, it is different
than having no annotation, as it is inherited and it can override a ParametersAreNonnullByDefault
annotation at an outer scope.
