ReSharper is very widely used, and has some annotations which we could apply
within Noda Time to indicate nullity, purity etc:
http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/webhelp/Code_Analysis__Annotations_in_Source_
Code.html
We definitely wouldn't want to add a binary dependency, and we may well want to
move the annotations to another namespace, but that would still be useful:
- We'd get the benefits ourselves when developing Noda Time
- Other developers could configure R# to notice the Noda Time copy of the
annotations too, at which point it would be able to help them use Noda Time
more effectively.
It may be worth trying to find other examples of open source projects doing
this, to see how they've found it.
