+/**
+ * Specifies that the method is impure and that its return value must be used.
+ * <p>
+ * For pure methods (annotated with {@code @Contract(pure = true)}),
+ * it's implied that the resulting value is important,
+ * so this annotation would be redundant.
+ * <p>
+ * Some impure methods have side effects and still require the return value to be used.
+ * For example, {@link java.io.InputStream#read(byte[])}
+ * returns the number of bytes actually stored in the byte array.
+ * Without checking the return value, it's impossible to say how many bytes were actually read.
+ * <p>
+ * This annotation should not be used if the return value of the method
+ * provides only <i>additional</i> information.
+ * For example, the main purpose of {@link java.util.Collection#add(Object)}
+ * is to modify the collection, and the return value is only interesting
+ * when adding an element to a set, to see if the set already contained that element before.
+ * <p>
+ * When used on a type, the annotation applies to all methods that do not return {@code void}.
+ * <p>
+ * When used on a package, the annotation applies to all types of that package.
+ *
+ * @see Contract#pure()
