>> This is a first prototype of a patch that propagates originating elements from `Filer` (`createSourceFile`/`createClassFile`/`createResource`) to the corresponding methods in `JavaFileManager`. As file managers generally don't know about `Element`s, the `Element`s are first converted to their corresponding `FileObject`s (if any). As the currently existing methods only take one `FileObject` as a sibling of the newly created file, a new set of methods is proposed that take multiple originating files.

I guess this one needs a CSR right?
