that's right. You can use

	getClassesContainingMethodsAnnotatedWith($annotationClassName)

for retrieving all potential classes which contain methods annotated 
with the annotation you're looking for. Then you'll need to iterate over 
the methods and check their annotations, for example with

	isMethodAnnotatedWith($className, $methodName, $annotationClassName)

Why there is no function which does all the work for you? The additional 
cache data we'd need for that information would be huge (we had that in 
the past) which effectively would slow down the whole application.

Cheers,
Robert
