This has been fixed in Jilt release `1.5`. I'm resolving this issue, please comment if you run into this problem again, and I'll be happy to reopen.

Thank you!

Remind me, what does `@Documented` do again? 😛

I agree with you 🙂. While it's not the worst, it is a little awkward. I would probably also just define the annotation inside my project, and abandon the idea...

I think that's absolutely insane, but hey, go for it - don't let me stop you! 😃
