Description
It would be nice to be able to @ImportAutoConfiguration(Foo.class) where Foo is itself annotated with @ImportAutoConfiguration(Bar.class) and for Bar to end up in the list of autoconfigs to be sorted and applied. It's almost a meta-annotation, but actually requires (I think) some conscious link following.

Research direction
Start by tracing how @ImportAutoConfiguration is processed and how imported auto-configurations are currently collected, sorted, and applied. Determine how a Foo annotation should link to its Bar annotation, then verify that nested imports are included in the final sorted list without changing existing behavior.
