getClass() is usually wrong for Annotations and Enums #242

Instances of an annotation interface generally return a random proxy class when getClass() is called on them; to get the actual annotation type you want .annotationType().

Enums with value-specific methods are a subclass of the actual enum type, and similarly, usually want getDeclaringClass().

Louis will take a look at this.
