We are handling the commented annotations in the Scanner.  Attribution  
(resolving the types of the annotations) happens in later phases of  
the compiler.

It might be a challenging to make that information available to the  
compiler.  We can use a hack like (Class.forName()) and see if it  
throws an exception.  I don't know if it would recognize classpath  
within javac.  This will not recognize jsr308 qualifiers (annotations)
that are passed as source as they haven't yet been compiled.
