The annotated element must be a number whose value must be lower or equal to the specified maximum.
Supported types are:
- BigDecimal
- BigInteger
- CharSequence
- byte, short, int, long, and their respective wrappers
Note that double and float are not supported due to rounding errors (some providers might provide some approximative support).
null elements are considered valid.
