As I'm using the historical data built into `javac` to determine the correct 
`@since` tag to be used, I can only check code added after JDK 9.
So a lot of errors in "older" code will go unnoticed, but I can make sure new 
tags are correct.
When an `@since` is missing from an element added in newer JDK releases I get 
an accurate error message i.e 

> method: void 
> javax.swing.JSlider.AccessibleJSlider.stateChanged(javax.swing.event.ChangeEvent):
>  `@since` version is 9 instead of 16

but for older code you can only guess "Element: X existed before JDK 10"
