An annotation attribute that is defined as an array does not have to have
the curly braces to define a single value for that attribute.
Basing a Java API for configuration on XML syntax is a poor implementation.
Why not support the entire XML configuration syntax in the annotation? Java has
APIs to express a collection of items. It is much easier to utilize an array
than a comma separated value attribute. The array allows the developer to
clearly express their intent. Utilizing an array does not require parsing when
the configuration value is accessed.
