Understanding and adoptions of annotations (Doctrine mainly afaics)
have change. I think it is tricky to define it in a way that it can be
useful and adopted as a core language feature, meaning being flexible
enough to be extendable and usable as a base for userland extensions.
That latter part is the biggest challenge. What do the actual
users/authors of the current userland implementation think? (pls other
thread? :)

Best,
