     * a AnnotationValue (AnnotationMirror member values and default values from anonotation member).
     * 
     * Regardless of the path, there are common primitive type conversion that needs to take place. 
     * The type conversions are respects the type widening and narrowing rules from JLS 5.1.2 and 5.1.2.
     * 
     * The only question remains is what is the type of the return value when the type conversion fails?     * 
     * When <code>avoidReflectException</code> is set to <code>true</code> 
     * Return <code>false</code> if the expected type is <code>boolean</code>
     * Return numeric 0 for all numeric primitive types and '0' for <code>char</code>
     * 
     * Otherwise:
     * Return the value unchanged. 
     *  
     * In the invocation handler case: 
     * The value returned by {@link java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler#invoke} 
     * will be converted into the expected type by the {@link java.lang.reflect.Proxy}. 
     * If the value and the expected type does not agree, and the value is not null, 
     * a ClassCastException will be thrown. A NullPointerException will be resulted if the 
     * expected type is a primitive type and the value is null.
     * This behavior is currently causing annotation processor a lot of pain and the decision is
     * to not throw such unchecked exception. In the case where a ClassCastException or 
     * NullPointerException will be thrown return some dummy value. Otherwise, return 
     * the original value.
     * Chosen dummy values:  
     * Return <code>false</code> if the expected type is <code>boolean</code>
     * Return numeric 0 for all numeric primitive types and '0' for <code>char</code>
     * 
     * This behavior is triggered by setting <code>avoidReflectException</code> to <code>true</code>
     * 
     * Note: the new behavior deviates from what's documented in
     * {@link java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler#invoke} and also deviates from 
     * Sun's implementation.
