 * is intentional.
 * 
 * <p>Applying this annotation has the effect of removing the <tt>final</tt>
 * modifier from the target field in order to avoid illegal access errors when a
 * shadow visible outside the mixin class (eg. to derived or package-local
 * mixins) is mutated. It also permits the mutation on Java runtimes which also
