Class DoNotInheritAttribute

Marks APIs that are designed under a closed-world assumption for and are NOT meant to be extended by user-code. It is fine to extend these classes within Akka itself however.

This is most useful for binary compatibility purposes when a set of classes and interfaces assume a "closed world" between them, and gain the ability to add methods to the interfaces without breaking binary compatibility for users of this code. Specifically this assumption may be understood intuitively: as all classes that implement this interface are in this compilation unit artifact, it is impossible to obtain a "old" class with a "new" interface, as they are part of the same dependency.
