The issue is that the annotation's current diagnostic is pretty nonspecific and therefore not useful to programmers who don't know what it means in that specific case. Adding parameters to specify a specific, useful diagnostic (and maybe deprecating the argument-less use), or forking this into two more specific annotations, should resolve things.
