                                                                                                       java.lang.Class<A> annotationType,

        Find the first annotation of the specified type that is either directly present, meta-present, or indirectly present on the supplied class, optionally searching recursively through the enclosing class hierarchy if not found on the supplied class.

        The enclosing class hierarchy will only be searched above an inner class (i.e., a non-static member class).

        Type Parameters:
        A - the annotation type
        Parameters:
        clazz - the class on which to search for the annotation; may be null
        annotationType - the annotation type to search for; never null
        searchEnclosingClasses - whether the enclosing class hierarchy should be searched
        Returns:
        an Optional containing the annotation; never null but potentially empty
