/**
 * A debug model presentation may implement this interface to override
 * standard annotations used to display instruction pointers for stack frames.
 * <p>
 * A client has several options when overriding default instruction pointer
 * annotations, and the debug platform uses the following prioritized order
 * when computing an annotation for a stack frame.
 * <ol>
 * <li>Specify the annotation object to use. This is done by returning a non-<code>null</code>
 *  value from <code>getInstructionPointerAnnotation(..)</code>.</li>
 * <li>Specify an <code>annotationType</code> extension to use.
 *  This is done by returning a non-<code>null</code> value from 
 *  <code>getInstructionPointerAnnotationType(..)</code>. When specified, the annotation
 *  type controls the image displayed via its associated
 *  <code>markerAnnotationSpecification</code>.</li>
 * <li>Specify the image to use. This is done by returning a non-<code>null</code>
 *  value from <code>getInstructionPointerImage(..)</code>.</li>
 * </ol>
 * Additionally, when specifying an annotation type or image the text
 * for the instruction pointer may be specified by returning a non-<code>null</code>
 * value from <code>getInstructionPointerText(..)</code>.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * These methods are called when the debugger has opened an editor to display
 * source for the given stack frame. The iamge will be positioned based on stack frame
 * line number and character ranges.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * By default, the debug platform uses different annotations for top stack
 * frames and non-top stack frames in a thread. The default platform annotations
 * are contributed as <code>annotationType</code> extensions with
 * the identifiers <code>IDebugUIConstants.ANNOTATION_INSTRUCTION_POINTER_CURRENT</code>
 * and <code>IDebugUIConstants.ANNOTAION_INSTRUCTION_POINTER_SECONDARY</code>.
 * </p>
