I will just note that I've raised this before. Frameworks in
particular constantly have to wrestle with how to handle the lack of
method references, generally using strings. Adding method references
to the main body of code helps those framework writers a bit, but not
being usable in annotations is a major limitation and a huge missed
opportunity.
