Please see that this breaks completion in the example below:

// ---
import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;

interface I {
	void foo();
}
public class X {
	static void goo() {
		
	}
	I i = X::<@Mark| String> goo;
}

@Target(ElementType.TYPE_USE)
@interface Marker {
	
}

I am inclined to think we should close this issue as is as INVALID. If the programmer has typed @ in the first place in a location where annotations
cannot legally occur and then attempts to complete it is not unreasonable
to suggest annotations. There is no valid Java construct other than annotations
for which @ is a prefix.

Anirban, if you agree, we can close.
