Maybe... for those that have an idea about what it is, which would
filter by hundreds  the voters, it would work.

Again, you change the meanings of something I write.
I do not want Java Annotations on PHP. But I want a clean way to
include metadata mapping on my class/property/method/function.
That said, I asked if PHP should support it as a poll... I'm not
requesting people to vote for Java Annotation, but I'm asking to vote
for metadata mapping that could be easily retrieved at runtime.

Is it understandable now?


It seems we both have strong arguments pro/cons it being included.
I doubt you will convince me at the same time I feel I'll never
convince you. That's another valid argument for a poll.
