Code review request for 8007113 Upgrade AnnotatedElement.isAnnotionPresent to be a default method

[Chris Hegarty]

Joe,

This looks good to me Joe, and I like that the default method spells out 
its implementation.

Out of curiosity, strictly speaking is this considered a specification 
change? Since the public override methods no longer exist in the 
concrete classes.
