So @target(Annotation) matches if and only if
thisJoinPoint.getTarget().getClass() has the annotation. The guide says
"where the object bound to this (or target, respectively) has an annotation
of the specified type" 

However, it wasn't obvious to me from reading this text that it refers only
to the most-derived class ... since annotations aren't inherited by default,
I think it's not right to refer to an object as having an annotation: only
types do, and the object may belong to several types only some of which have
the annotation...

Sounds like I rediscovered this.
