Ryan and I had the same discussion on IRC. Makes sense, I guess, but
I wish there were a way around that. :|

Yes, we decided not to have it because we'd need lots of additional
information related to the timing of discovery.
As I was driving down the road, this exact thought occurred to me.
The annotation would have to support ordering for phase listeners in
the same classpath and it would end up being pretty complicated.
Btw, it's the same reason interceptors have to be declared/activated
in an XML file for JSR-299.
