<P>
This annotation is applied to a annotation, and marks the annotation as being
a qualifier nickname. Applying a nickname annotation X to a element Y should
be interpreted as having the same meaning as applying all of annotations of X
(other than QualifierNickname) to Y.
<p>
Thus, you might define a qualifier SocialSecurityNumber as follows:
</p>
<code>
&#064;Documented
&#064;TypeQualifierNickname &#064;Pattern("[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{4}")
&#064;Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public &#064;interface SocialSecurityNumber {
}
</code>
