> I attempted to set up an annotation-inheritance situation using {{@AnnotationCollector}}, and I wrote the intermediate collector in Java. Since the intermediate collector was applied to my leaf collector, I put {{@Target(ElementType.ANNOTATION_TYPE)}} on the intermediate collector, but it appears that Groovy copied that annotation to the final target class, where it wasn't allowed and produced a compiler error.
> I suggest that {{@Target}} and {{@Retention}} should be specifically ignored when added to a collector annotation.
