reducing the number of methods annotated with @TrackableConstant

Hi,
I propose reducing the number of methods annotated with the
@TrackableConstant annotation in the current Constables API. Actually
reducing the number of them should be a consequence of reducing the
applicability of the annotation. Annotating methods that return
primitive types or Strings adds more overhead to the compiler but, IMO,
it adds little value to the API and developers. My suggestion is that if
a method returns a Constable type, or at most an array of a Constable
type, then it could be annotated with @TrackableConstant and remove it
from all other cases.
Comments?
