[hibernate-dev] Changing or deprecating @AnalyzerDef

[Emmanuel Bernard]

They were intended to be there. Are they useful there is another story
we can debate.

definitions can be defined on fields or methods. I could not find the
code that would isolate the definition between different fields but I
would have expected that intent. At any rate there is an explicit
handling of field / method analyzers.

We can deprecate that use if we think that clears the path.
