Annotation Type Decorate

@Target({PARAMETER,METHOD,FIELD})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Inherited
public @interface Decorate

Annotation to support the workaround for supporting the decorator design pattern with Guice where we have some interface I, a default/base implementation A, and a decorator class B, which should accept as an argument the default implementation A. Normally, that would be a circular dependency, but using the annotation avoids that complication.
