I found another example of why this bug needs to be fixed:

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=775449

Note that Mathias has created two entirely new types of annotations 
(RuntimeVisibleLocalVariableAnnotations and RuntimeInvisibleLocalVariableAnnotations). Naturally, one 
might want to use BCEL to read these annotations from a class file, but that's currently impossible. 
Unless this bug is fixed, BCEL is effectively hard-coded for the standard annotation names.
