                    During the course of adding repeating annotations support in the compiler, it is necessary to refer to the java.lang.annotation.Repeatable type.  This type does not exist when boot strapping on JDK 7 and thus must be accessed reflectively.
This situation no longer exists once javac in JDK 9 bootstraps on JDK 8.
