Example in 8misc.pdf re. containing annotations

[Alex Buckley]

I was sure I'd removed all mention of @ContainedBy / @ContainerFor ! 
Thanks for spotting that, clearly it should be:

@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
@Repeatable(FooContainer.class)
@interface Foo {}

@Target(ElementType.ANNOTATION_TYPE)
@Interface FooContainer {
     Foo[] value();
}
