      The two RoundEnvironment methods:

      RoundEnvironment.getElementsAnnotatedWith​(Class<? extends Annotation> a)
      RoundEnvironment.getElementsAnnotatedWithAny​(Set<Class<? extends
      Annotation>> annotations)

      can expose a difference between annotation types available at runtime via Class objects versus the annotation types available at compile time as TypeElements.

      This hazard should be mentioned in the API docs.
