Summary:
It took a while for me to figure out what does this method do; the
reasons were:
1. a lot of names were cryptic and/or misleading
2. because everything is inline one needs to read everything to figure
out what is going on here.
So this diff changes the names a bit and moves some of methods outside.
This is still far not perfect, but I believe it is better than was
before.

Summary:
Eradicate.ml is way too big to reason about.
This diff is shallow, it does only the following:
1. Moves the module
2. Adds documentation in the header.
3. Exports two public methods as is
4. Adds corresponding params to all methods for values that were
captured in the module-as-closure before

Summary:
As suggested by artempyanykh:
1. Since we recently introduced InferredNullability, AnnotatedNullability deserves its own class which now plays nicely with its counterpart.
2. AnnotatedType is more specific then NullsafeType

Summary:
Now, after series of modifications with TypeAnnotation, we are ready to
rename it to reflect what it means in the code.
See the documentation in the class for details.
Also:
- renamed methods for clarity
- added some documentation
- renamed local variables around the usages

Summary:
This continues work for eliminating Annot.Item.t from Nullsafe low-level
code.
The introduced function `from_nullsafe_type` is called when we infer
initial type of the equation based on the function or field formal signature.
Before that, we did it via reading the annotation directly, which
complicates the logic and making introducing Unknown nullability tricky.
## Clarifying the semantics of PropagatesNullable
This diff also clarifies (and changes) the behavior of PropagatesNullable params.
Previously, if the return value of a function that has PropagatesNullable params was
annotated as Nullable, nullsafe was effectively ignoring PropagatesNullable effect.
This is especially bad because one can add Nullable annotation based on the logic "if the function can return `null`, it should be annotated with Nullable`.
In the new design, there is no possibility for such a misuse: the code that
applies the rule "any param is PropagatesNullable hence the return
value is nullable even if not explicitly annotated" lives in NullsafeType.ml, so
this will be automatically taken into account.
Meaning that now we implicitly deduce Nullable annotation for the return value, and providing it explicitly as an alternative that does not change the effect.
In the future, we might consider annotating the return value with `Nullable` explicit.

Summary:
1/ Nikos Gorogiannis pointed out that
- for highly reused public types, records (especially when >= 3 params) are generally more readable than tuples.
- Records simplify code modifications, especially adding new fields. And we are going to add some, namely param flags, in the future.
2/ Let's make the fact that annotated signature is deprecated more
visible; it will also simplify searching for usages when we will be
getting rid of them.

Summary:
This is a central abstraction for coming future unknown nullability support.
# Context
Annot.ml is a low-level module:
- it contains lists of raw (string) annotations
- no algebraic datatypes for annotations
- it mixes annotations that Nullsafe should be aware of with all sorts of other annotations
- some annotations make sense for return values, some make sense for params, and some make sense for methods.
But, most importantly, it does not contain information about source of an annotation, making it hard to distinct things like "Nonnull as default" vs "Nonnull as explicitly annotated" vs "Nonnull as modelled". Ditto for nullable.
Because of this, it is tricky to introduce unknown nullability in an elegant way.
Let's get rid of using Annot.Item.t in nullsafe code in the following way:
- Move nullability information associated with the Java type to a dedicated algebraic DT.
- Split other annotations that are important for nullsafe into param flags, ret value flags, and method flags, and introduce corresponding datatypes.
# This diff
This diff introduces NullsafeType and adds this to AnnotatedSignature.
It is not used yet, hence the diff is a no-op.
In future diffs, we are going to (see also TODOs in the code):
- actually use this information instead of accessing Annot.item
- add more information to AnnotatedSignature
- remove Annot.item from AnnnotatedSignature
- when this is done, introduce notion of unknown nullability.

The record `proc_callback_args` (defined in `callbacks.ml`) contains the fields `proc_desc` and `summary`.
The field `proc_desc` is redundant because it can be obtained from `summary`.
This diff removes `proc_desc` and uses the summary to obtain it where needed.
