 Hi,

>> %Annotation(%Email(checkMX = true));

at first I thought what for an ugly syntax. But after a time I think it
is regardless of whether the % or @(from Java, which I prefer over all,
if it were possible) syntax is used. It looks very similar. So I prefer
the % syntax so we can use the [] for defining arrays in annotations. Is
it possible to define objects from type stdClass in the form
%Annotation({key: 'value'})?

An other question. Is it necessary to terminate an annotation with a
semicolon, like in your example?

class Compiler {

    /**
     * Compile a node into plain PHP.
     *
     * @param Node $node The node to compile.
     */
    %Annotation(%Email(checkMX = true))
    %ResourceParameter(['key' => 'name', 'value' => 'annotation'])
    %Inject('\my\name\space\Class')
    %Test
    %Annotation({key: 'value'})
    public function compile(Node $node) {

    }
}

Greetings,
Christian
