Allow Extensions to specify the annotations that they are interested in
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CDI-43
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-43
             Project: CDI Specification Issues
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Stuart Douglas


Currently portable extensions that wish to look for a specific annotation have to look through all availible classes in the ProcessAnnotatatedType event, which is quite inefficient. It would be good if extensions could do something like:

public void processAnnotatedType(@Observes @RequireAnnotations({@Unwraps.class}) ProcessAnnotatedType pat) 

This could allow the container to take advantage of annotation indexing to improve boot time performance, as well as reducing uneeded processing in the observer.
