Complete annotation support by exposing class annotations (not just method, field, ctor)

Current version handles method, field and constructor annotations, but not yet basic class annotations; should expose them too.
After 7 years... still no class annotations support?
@smthpickboy Are you familiar with how OSS works?
I think it's a common need to introspect class annotations, so I feel a little surprised this feature is left unsupported for such a long time.
I'm using springfox to generate docs and it uses classmate to resolve type/annotations etc. It would be helpful for writing springfox plugins if classmate is able to resolve class annotations. I'm not familiar with handling metadata in Java so I can't help implement this in classmate. I guess I'll just find a workaround for the time being.
Anyway, thanks for you work.
What I meant is that typically people with a need ("itch") step up to add functionality that is missing.
I do not mean that such functionality would not be useful, just that no one with itch and knowledge has stepped up so far (including myself).
