+/**
+ * A contract to be implemented by other annotation processors which - against the design philosophy of JSR 269 - alter
+ * the types under compilation.
+ * <p>
+ * This contract will be queried by MapStruct when examining types referenced by mappers to be generated, most notably
+ * the source and target types of mapping methods. If at least one AST-modifying processor announces further changes to
+ * such type, the generation of the affected mapper(s) will be deferred to a future round in the annnotation processing
+ * cycle.
+ * <p>
+ * Implementations are discovered via the service loader, i.e. a JAR providing an AST-modifying processor needs to
+ * declare its implementation in a file {@code META-INF/services/org.mapstruct.ap.spi.AstModifyingAnnotationProcessor}.
