      *  Algorithm (TO Rodrigo, BY Rodrigo): 

      *  

      *  On DEM Annotation's discovery:

      *  

      *  1) read the package of the the annotation annotated by this meta-annotation (Class.getPackage().getName()??)

      *  2) rewrite this member value's with the read package name concatenated with the member value

      *  

      *  Use an helper method since it's also present on <code>@ExclusiveWith</code>
