-------------------------------------

    Git Pull Request: https://github.com/cdi-spec/cdi/pull/79


A PR has been proposed by Pete but it's now closed because we switch spec to Asciidoc meanwhile.
However its content may still be relevant for a futur evolution.

> The spec says:
> "Array-valued or annotation-valued members of a qualifier type should be annotated @Nonbinding in a portable application.
> If an array-valued or annotation-valued member of a qualifier type is not annotated @Nonbinding, non-portable behavior
> results."
> The case of arrays without this annotation should be managed to get a better portability. The equality of arrays is determined through "Arrays" helper (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/annotation/Annotation.html) so i don't think there is any technical issue to consider arrays as a field.
