Changes private types in public signatures to `Object`.
Should not change anything for code that accesses the members
directly, an unspeakable type is no different from `Object`,
unless you try to access members on it, and none of the types
have useful members, they're all of the form
`class _C {const _C();}`.
If any code tries to recognize annotation values from
the expression's *static* type, not the runtime type
of the constant value itself, such code would be affected
by this change. It's not expected that such code exists.
Updates documentation to have a single-line first paragraph
with a noun phrase describing the value ("Annotation for ...").
Updates the documentation for `visibleForTesting` to say that
you can use the annotated declaration from a `test/` file in
a different package. (You can, and it's even potentially useful.)
Some spot-wise wording changes in documentation.

Dart
An approachable, portable, and productive language for high-quality apps on any platform
Dart is:
-
Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.
-
Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.
-
Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.
Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:
-
Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.
-
Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
