Until such time as Jeff finishes rewriting the files, then we just nerf the
4 clause one as no longer relevant since it describes no code in the file
anymore...

We've done exactly the thing Jeff did hundreds if not thousands of times

years...  Not sure why it's coming up now over an annotation that has a
specific meaning that's clear and well defined.
