@IKnowThisIsntGreatButICantThinkOfAnythingBetter

You know that feeling, you've been staring at the same piece of code
on and off for days now. You know it isn't great, but you really
really can't think of a better way of doing it.

To try and head off any other annotations from people who are not
happy with your code, you can use this one to let people know that you
really did try and come up with a better solution, there just wasn't
one to be found.

I know the name sucks and I've really thought about it but I can't
think of anything better ;)

(shorter suggestions conveying the same idea greatly appreciated)

I thought about @Workaround, but idk, does not sound so .... deep.... @IKnowThisIsntGreatButICantThinkOfAnythingBetter really sounds "the real thing", but seems to be too long....

LeastEvil sounds good. Not sure about MyKidsNeedShoes, I'm trying to
convey the idea that you tried, but failed to come up with a better
way of doing it. Or you came up with several ways and this was the
least rubbish.

That's quite good, perhaps that is a more generic version of the
@LeastEvil.

It could be parametrised:

@BestICanDo(
alternativesTried = 4,
reasonChosen = Reason.LeastEvil)

With alternative Reasons such as:

RanOutOfTime
NobodyElseCared

Hey all -

I'm on travel, so apologies if I'm less responsive. How about @Shrug. :P
