## Use cases { #use-cases }

Some use cases include:

 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>An annotation named just "Suppress" might someday be treated by a non-Android tool as a
 *       suppression. This would follow the precedent of many of our annotation processors, which
 *       look for any annotation named, e.g., "GwtIncompatible," regardless of package.
 *   <li>An annotation named just "Suppress" might suggest to users that the test is suppressed

   *
   * <p>This method is useful primarily when we make a reflective call to a method with no {@code
   * throws} clause: Java forces us to handle an arbitrary {@link Throwable} from that method,
   * rather than just the {@link RuntimeException} or {@link Error} that should be possible. (And in
   * fact the static type of {@link Throwable} is occasionally justified even for a method with no

    @Override
    public void run() {
      while (true) {
        try {
          Thread.sleep(everyMillis);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
          // ok. just stop sleeping.
        }
        if (shouldStop) {
          break;
        }
        interruptee.interrupt();
      }
    }

    void stopInterrupting() {
      shouldStop = true;
    }
  }

The important thing to remember is that **the first *type parameter*** you pass to `Annotated` is the **actual type**. The rest, is just metadata for other tools.

For now, you just need to know that `Annotated` exists, and that it's standard Python. 😎

Later you will see how **powerful** it can be.

But doing that, in some minutes or hours the attackers would have guessed the correct username and password, with the "help" of our application, just using the time taken to answer.

#### Fix it with `secrets.compare_digest()` { #fix-it-with-secrets-compare-digest }

   * could use null, but that messes with our nullness checking, including under J2KT. We could
   * probably work around it by changing how we annotate the J2CL EnumMap, but that's probably more
   * trouble than just using Object.class.)
   *
   * Then we declare the getters for these fields as @GwtIncompatible so that no one can try to use
   * them under J2CL—or, as an unfortunate side effect, under GWT. We do still give the fields
