| In [recent versions of javac](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8268729), |
| `AnnotationValue#toString` returns a string representation of the annotation |
| value that uses simple names. If the string is used in generated source code, it |
| may require additional imports. |
| |
| For example, instead of the class literal `com.pkg.Bar.class`, javac now returns |
| just `Bar.class`, which may require adding an import for for `com.pkg.Bar`. |
| |
| `auto-common`'s `AnnotationValues#toString` method produces a string that uses |
| fully qualified names for annotations, class literals, and enum constants, |
| ensuring that source code containing that string will compile without additional |
| imports. |
| |
| TIP: `AnnotationValues#toString` may be beneficial even if the string isn't |
| being used in generated code, e.g. if it's part of a diagnostic message or |
| assertion failure message, since the fully qualified names makes it clearer |
| which types are being referred to. |
