-     * Build an attacher for handling the case where we have

-     * annotation attacher, because we might be attaching type
-     * annotations that are also declaration annotations.  But the
-     * semantics of reporters are that they get called for type-only
-     * annotations.  For an example of where this matters, consider

-     * the type attacher, because it's null), the result being that @A
-     * goes on foo as a declaration annotation.  The reporter would
-     * not get called, because there are no type-only annotations.
-     * However, if @A can only annotate type uses, then it's a
-     * type-only annotation, and we report an illegal scoping error.
