The annotated element size must be between the specified boundaries (included).

Supported types are:

    
CharSequence (length of character sequence is evaluated)
    
Collection (collection size is evaluated)
    
Map (map size is evaluated)
    
Array (array length is evaluated)

 null elements are considered valid.
