Android annotations ordering

[brunodles]

Android sorts the annotation by full annotation name, ignoring the declared order.

When we call something like this:

    @Selector("title")
    @TextCollector
    @Regexp("^(?:.*)\\s+?(\\d++)")
    @ToInt
    fun number(): Int = 1

It returns a list like this:

    @brunodles.animewatcher.ToInt()
    @com.brunodles.alchemist.collectors.TextCollector()
    @com.brunodles.alchemist.regex.Regex(value=^(?:.*)\s+?(\d++))
    @com.brunodles.alchemist.selector.Selector(value=title)

May we can use some prioritization to build the chain:

1_ look for selectors
2_ look for collectors
3_ look for transformer

But this will be harder to figure out, because it may lead to errors when we use transformers with same prioritization.

May we build proxies on compile time.

Since java does not change the annotations order we may build implementation classes for each interface with alchemist annotations.
When user calls the alchemist it will look for a concrete class that implements the declared methods of the interface.
