> Now that master is on JDK 8, we should look at supporting annotations in more places (i.e. JSR 308 or some subset thereof).
> It will require some plugin tweaking for configuring annotation nodes and also some grammar changes. For the backport in
> particular, we'll need to decide whether we don't backport the relevant grammar changes or allow them in the grammar
> but gracefully handle them with appropriate error messages. My initial gut feel is we should allow them in the grammar but
> we can make that call after further investigation.
> Some other decisions that might arise.
> * Do we support just a subset of the JSR?
> * Currently we allow the type placeholder '{{def}}' to be elided if an annotation takes its place. Does this convention need to change with the additional annotation positions or do we need to clarify what happens in different scenarios?
