> All of the annotations have `@Target(ElementType.TYPE)`, which according to the documentation:
> /** Class, interface (including annotation type), or enum declaration */
> Apparently, the Groovy compiler doesn't know that TYPE is also expected to work on annotations.
> This issue prevent a lot of annotations being written in Groovy.
