Re: [weld-dev] AnnotatedType and the SPI

I had a look but I could not see anything in spec, and as far as I can tell weld is
inconsistant with regard to how it treats it. If an AnnotatedParameter is missing it uses
the Annotations on the underlying class, however if a field definition is missing it
treats it as having no annotations (I have not actually tested this, just has a quick look
at the code, so I could be wrong).
We should *always* merge the annotations from the underlying class with any specified
through Annotated*. If Weld does differently, it's a bug :-)
