> If a type is changed from a type that can be a member of an annotation which is used in an array, changing it to a type that cannot be an array member will be treated as if the type is an annotation type. As a result, no exception proxy is created and the type is returned as if it was correctly defined.

Reopening PR as it is still under review.
