------------------------------------
Hi Antonin!
I fear you will end up being non-portable if your Extension relies on
AnnotatedType not using instance equality but require all AnnotatedTypes
implementing logical equals and hashCode.
* it's not required by the spec. And more important: the spec doesn't define
WHAT must be equal.
* OWB doesn't implement it
* many Weld versions don't implement it afaik
* No single custom Extension wrapping/modifying AnnotatedTypes I ever saw
implemented it
* DeltaSpike AnnotetedImpl doesn't implement it
* CODI doesn't implement it
* The builder from Seam3 doesn't implement it
...
All in all you simply cannot rely on it as you don't know what other CDI
Extensions are present in your customers project.
What is the actual problem you like to solve? I did never have the urge for it
so far - and I've done quite a few Extensions as you probably know ;)

> Project: OpenWebBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.6.2

> The implementations of the {{Annotated}} SPIs do not override {{equals}} and
> {{hashCode}}.
> This prevents from looking up bean definitions by annotated elements which is
> often required when developing CDI extensions.
