/**
 * The Optimistic annotation is used for builtins that can throw UnwarrantedOptimism
 * exception if they are wrong, whose callsite is optimistic and contains a program
 * point. Every optimistic builtin callsite needs to bind its programPoint to an
 * argument of the implementation at compile time
 *
 * Typical use case would be something like: if you want to do an optimistic "push" function
 * in NativeArray that takes an int, write
 *
 *  <pre>
 *  {@literal @}SpecializedFunction {@literal @}Optimistic
 *  public static int push(final Object self, final int x, final int programPoint) {
 *    try {
 *    //push code assuming that this is an int array
 *    //return new length of array, assuming it's an int
 *    } catch (ArrayWasWrong e) {
 *       //undo any array modifications
 *       throw new UnwarrantedOptimismExceptionArrayType(x, programPoint);
 *    } catch (LengthOverFlowed e) {
 *       //undo any array modifications
 *       throw new UnwarratnedOptimismExceptionArrayLength(uint32lenThatOverFlowed, programPoint)
 *    }
 *  }
 *  </pre>
