How's it supposed to know whether addAnnotation(Method, Annotation) should be a MethodSignature or DeclaredMethodSignature? A general metadata loader (in this case the memory loader for storing the xml) doesn't even know what the class is so it can't even search to see whether it is a private Method that is masked by a different method in that class or one of its super classes.
