Subject: Native Annotation Syntax
From: pedronaroga@gmail.com (Pedro Cordeiro)

Hello.

I'd been reading some old RFCs recently, and I found two RFCs on the
subject of annotations, both by Guilherme Blanco. The first one, which
proposed a native syntax for annotations, is marked as 'declined', and I
couldn't find a discussion for it anywhere. The second one, which proposes
retrieving annotation from DocBlocks through reflection is 'inactive', with
no further explanation.

I'd really like to see native annotation support for PHP that doesn't live
in comments.

Is there a reason those RFCs were dropped, or was it just lack of interest?

- Pedro.
