    Description

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      Add ASSIGNMENT to the the allowed targets (i.e. ElementType) for an annotation.

      JUSTIFICATION :
      When using SuppresWarnings, it is desirable to use the smallest scope possible. Often, for "unchecked" this occurs on a variable assignment.

      Currently, only a DECLARATION target is allowed. There are situations where warning suppression is required for an assignment that is NOT a declaration.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      Should be able to associate an annotation with a variable assignment.
      ACTUAL -
      Can only associate an annotation with an assignment that is part of a declaration.
