A very nice addition and an excellent demo example for showcasing the capabilities is provided in the test: TestPrintContextual.java

src/jdk.jfr/share/classes/jdk/jfr/events/MethodTraceEvent.java line 39:

Should the MethodTraceEvent's method field really have this annotation? Or is it a remnant from testing?
