Annotation Interface Reflected

@Documented @Retention(RUNTIME) @Target({TYPE,METHOD}) public @interface Reflected
Indicates that the annotated member is accessed via reflection or some other mechanism that references the annotated member by name.

Care should be taken when refactoring or renaming such elements, as doing so may break functionality.

Optionally, value() may be used to document Classes where such references are located. Although note that references are not strictly present only in Classes and may be practically anywhere.
