I'm trying to replicate JVM's reflection `getAnnotation()` like methods, so that I can do the annotation processing in my runtime library instead of the compiler plugin, but via compiler plugin so that I can use it on multiplatform.  I need a way to turn the `IrFunction.annotations` list of IrConstructorCalls into an IrExpression of the annotation objects so that I can pass them to my method (all in IR, I don't want the objects at compile time, I want to add them as an argument).  The way I'm trying to do this is by just passing a list of the `IrFunction.annotations` constructor calls, since they are constructor calls, but this produces runtime `java.lang.InstantiationError` for the annotation class from the constructor call.  Is there a way to do this?
