Usage

   @Retention(value = AnnotationRetention.SOURCE)

2. Create a .lowlighting file in the root directory and add the fully qualified name of the annotation.

   com.playground.analytics.Lowlight
   

3. Annotate a function with the annotation.

   @Lowlight
   fun logEvent(
       firebaseEventName: String? = null,
       firebaseParameterName: String? = null,
       firebaseParameterValue: String? = null,
