     27  * Denotes that the annotated method can be called from any thread (e.g. it is
     28  * "thread safe".) If the annotated element is a class, then all methods in the
     29  * class can be called from any thread.
     30  * <p>
     31  * The main purpose of this method is to indicate that you believe a method can
     32  * be called from any thread; static tools can then check that nothing you call
     33  * from within this method or class have more strict threading requirements.
     34  * <p>
     35  * Example:
     36  *
     37  * <pre>
     38  * <code>
     39  *  &#64;AnyThread
     40  *  public void deliverResult(D data) { ... }
     41  * </code>
     42  * </pre>
     43  *
     44  * @memberDoc This method is safe to call from any thread.
