The return value adaption of Proxy is problematic, that it may attempt to access package-private types inaccessible to its package in a `checkcast` instruction, which causes `IllegalAccessError` if the returned object is not `null`. This likely affects all Java versions since the publication of OpenJDK.
A practical effect of this is that if a repeatable annotation is package-private but the container is not, user code cannot access the `value` element in the container annotation. All added tests except `PackagePrivateContainerTest::testGetRepeatable` fail on current mainline and pass with the ProxyGenerator patch.
