 * to operate on an AnnotatedBeanDefinition, for example strategy implementations
 * in Spring's component scanning support (where the default definition class is
 * {@link org.springframework.context.annotation.ScannedGenericBeanDefinition},
 * which also implements the AnnotatedBeanDefinition interface).
