@Implements annotation

I'd like to get a little clarity on the @Implements annotation. Why
does it need to exist?

For example:

@PersistenceCapable
@Implements(org.jpox.samples.MyInterface.class)
public class MyClass implement MyInterface
{
...
}

This just seems redundant at first glance. I'm sure there is a valid
reason, but the spec doesn't say much (at least it doesn't in the
19.18 section). Please enlighten me, thanks.
