Allowing a qualifier annotation in [`TYPE_PARAMETER`] or [`TYPE_USE`] contexts
allows end users to write code like:

```java
@Inject Foo(List<@MyAnnotation String> strings)
```

Guice, Dagger, and other dependency injection frameworks don't currently see
type annotations in this context, so the above code is equivalent to:

```java
@Inject Foo(List<String> strings)
```
