> Currently portable extensions that wish to look for a specific annotation have to look through all availible classes in the ProcessAnnotatatedType event, which is quite inefficient. It would be good if extensions could do something like:
> public void processAnnotatedType(@Observes @RequireAnnotations({@Unwraps.class}) ProcessAnnotatedType pat) 
> This could allow the container to take advantage of annotation indexing to improve boot time performance, as well as reducing uneeded processing in the observer.
