/**
 * Subclasses of TUConstraint represent constraints between a type parameter, whose type arguments
 * are being inferred, and the types used to do that inference. These constraints are used by the
 * TASolver to infer arguments.
 *
 * <p>TU constraints come in the classic form of subtype, supertype, and equality constraints.<br>
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>{@code T <: U} -- implies T is a subtype of U, it is represented by TSubU <br>
 *   <li>{@code T >: U} -- implies T is a supertype of U, it is represented by TSuperU <br>
 *   <li>{@code T = U} -- implies T is equal to U, it is represented by TIsU <br>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>Note, it is important that the type parameter is represented by an AnnotatedTypeVariable
 * because if a use of the type parameter has a primary annotation, then the two types represented
 * in by a TUConstraint are NOT constrained in the hierarchy of that annotation. e.g.
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 * <T> void method(List<@NonNull T> t1, T t2)
 * method(new ArrayList<@NonNull String>(), null);
 * }</pre>
 *
 * The above method call would eventually be reduced to constraints: {@code [@NonNull String
 * == @NonNull T, @Nullable null <: T]}
 *
 * <p>In this example, if we did not ignore the first constraint then the type argument would be
 * exactly @NonNull String and the second argument would be invalid. However, the correct inference
 * would be @Nullable String and both arguments would be valid.
