052 * class is marked with the {@code @InternalUseOnly} annotation, then no part of
053 * that class should be used by third-party code.  If a class is not marked with
054 * the {@code @InternalUseOnly} annotation, then it may be assumed that the
055 * class is part of the public API, and any public constructors and methods
056 * which do not have the {@code @InternalUseOnly} annotation may be used by
