    Description

      Java allows this:

      package foobar;
      @interface Java {
      }
      

      Groovy 2.4 fails for the equivalent:

      package foobar
      import groovy.transform.PackageScope
      @PackageScope @interface Groovy {
      }
      
      Annotation @groovy.transform.PackageScope is not allowed on element ANNOTATION
       @ line 3, column 1.
         @PackageScope @interface Groovy {
         ^
      

      NOTE: This works in Groovy 2.5, but it is not clear from the changelogs which change is responsible. Could the change that fixed be identified so I can try my hand at a minimal patch for 2.4?
