Description

The functionality of javadoc's WorkArounds.isSynthesized should be provided by

Elements.getOrigin���(AnnotatedConstruct c, AnnotationMirror a) == Origin.MANDATED

If that is *not* the case, the operation of getOrigin for annotation should be examined.

Recent work on JDK-8005295 indicates the mandated information is being set as expected for compiler-generated container annotations use for repeating annotations.
