I have noticed this in the field:

@Restricted(NoExternalUse.class)
interface Whatever {
}

which makes no sense since this type was not public to begin with and so could not have been used externally even without the checker. (Except by something injecting a class into the same package, which we assume is malicious, and solvable anyway via Sealed: true.) Since this is a mistake, it should be made into a compile-time error by the annotation processor.
