```
public class TypeQualifierAnnotationLookupResult
extends java.lang.Object
```
The result of looking up a TypeQualifierAnnotation. Because type qualifiers are inherited, a full result of looking resolving a TypeQualifierAnnotation may include annotations on one or more supertypes. Potentially, the supertype annotations may conflict with each other, and/or conflict with the annotation on the annotated entity. This object makes it possible to report such conflicts, while still providing a convenient interface for getting the "effective" TypeQualifierAnnotation.
