A SafeVarargs annotation can only be applied to variable-arity executables that are one of:
* static methods
* final methods
* constructors (which from a certain point of view are a special kind of static method)
None of these executables can be overriden, which is a constraint since annotation are only inherited along the superclass chain at a type level and *not* at the method/constructor level. Since annotations are not inherited at the method level, an overriding method could knowingly or unknowingly violate the @SafeVararags constraint of the overridden method.
Another kind of non-overridable executable is a private method. Therefore, it would be reasonable to allow @SafeVarargs to be applied to private methods too.
