*** ** * ** ***

Denotes that the annotated method can be called from any thread (e.g. it is "thread safe".) If the annotated element is a class, then all methods in the class can be called from any thread.

The main purpose of this method is to indicate that you believe a method can be called from any thread; static tools can then check that nothing you call from within this method or class have more strict threading requirements.

Example:

```
@AnyThread
public void deliverResult(D data) { ... }
```
