24  * is a marker interface for detectors that don't save state from one
25  * class file to the next.
26  *
27  * If a detector implements this interface, a clone will be generated for each element it is applied to.
28  *
29  * The idea of using this interface is questionable. Better for people writing
30  * stateless detectors to just not keep around state they don't need, rather than
31  * depending on cloning and garbage collection.
