Annotation Type Mixin

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=TYPE)
 @Documented
public @interface Mixin

This annotation type is used to declare compile-time mixins, which allow for cross-candy interface merging.

When a mixin targets an interface in another candy, the JSweet transpiler will merge the two interfaces and generate a new one that will precede the two in the classpath.

This annotation is used for API definitions and most programmers will not have to use it directly.
