Description

Since PROTON-616, proton-j has attempted to enforce the fact that the key's of a message annotations map must be of the Symbol type (or actually ulong, but those are reserved so we don't need to worry about that) [1]

Unfortunately, from the Ruby client, the mapping of a native map into proton data always sets the key's as strings rather than symbols.

In proton-j, you'll currently hit a `java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String incompatible with org.apache.qpid.proton.amqp.Symbol` if you try to look at keys of the MessageAnnotations object of a message sent from the ruby send.rb example (which sets message annotations for the keys 'version' and 'pill').
