@pwendell The reason I did this is, if you compile a file A.scala with
contents
```scala
@SomeAnnotation
object A
```
it will produce two class files A.class and A$.class. And I don't
understand why scala reflection does not detect the annotation on A.class, it
is only detected on A$.class. This was the reason for doing it.
The impact of this change is that, when we see annotation on a class we
assume it is also present on its companion.
