Index annotation on subclasses currently override base-class annotations

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
@Unindexed 
Class Base 
{ 
    @Id 
    String a; 
    String b; 
} 

@Indexed 
Class Sub extends Base 
{ 
    String c; 
} 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
"a" and "c" should be indexed with "b" being unindexed. Instead all 3 fields 
are indexed (fyi, didn't actually test this but Jeff S. confirmed the behavior, 
see link below)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Objectify 2.2.2 and appengine sdk 1.3.8

This is checked into trunk and will be part of 3.0b2.

Now in this situation a&b will be unindexed, c will be indexed.

A remaining question exists if Sub has no @Indexed annotation, should it 
inherit the @Unindexed default from Base or should fields be indexed by default 
like every other class.  There is a discussion in the Google Group about this.

The new behavior (per trunk) is that absent an annotation, subclasses are 
indexed by default no matter what the parent says.
