[cdi-dev] Accepting class type for simple (qualifier) annotations in APIs?

[Martin Kouba]

Type safety is not guaranteed in the current version of 
AnnotationInstanceProvider (deltaspike). We should at least check the 
provided map of member values against the set of declared methods. 
Otherwise, I like the idea of standardizing a similar "annotation 
instance builder".
