RFR: 8266766: Arrays of types that cannot be an annotation member do not yield exceptions [v4]

[Rafael Winterhalter]

> 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.
