Introduce a comprehensive programming model for meta-annotation support [SPR-11511]

[spring-projects-issues]

Sam Brannen opened SPR-11511 and commented

Support for meta-annotations in the framework has been greatly improved over the last several major releases of Spring; however, there is still room for improvement with regard to aliases for value attributes as well as overriding of meta-annotation attributes in custom composed annotations.

This issue serves as an umbrella issue for all work related to delivering a comprehensive programming model for meta-annotations in the Spring Framework.

See sub-tasks and linked issues for details on individual deliverables.
