Renamed Hybris -> Hubris
Hybris is the Greek spirit (daemon) or godess of insolence. Hubris is a fancier word for pride, which is more in sync with what is meant with this annotation.

(linguistics)
Wiktionary actually supports using a Y, with the entry
- Alternative form of hubris
However, even with that justification, I agree that "hubris" is the much more common spelling in English. Also, the "hybris" entry is all by itself (and basically just a redirect), indicating that it's effectively @Deprecated
. This assumes, of course, that English is the target language of this library (which seems reasonable given the other annotation names and all the English documentation).
(The spelling difference is probably due to how or when the term was borrowed into English [or other languages], or because the U-variant was unfairly popularized at some point. Now I wish I knew…)
