I should have added: we like this behavior :) it simplifies
somethings in our implementation and imposes a model that
from a TypeMirror you get annotations for the type-use site
and from an Element you get annotations for a declaration 
site.

Nevertheless checking to make sure this is intended.

Thanks!
