    Description

      In the javax.lang.model API, both declaration annotations and type annotations can be returned. It would be worthwhile to the API to note where each kind of annotation can be returned.

      In brief, the AnnotatedConstruct methods should have an @inheritDoc override in javax.lang.model.element.Element state that *declaration* annotations are returned while overrides in javax.lang.model.type.TypeMirror should state *type* annotations are returned.
