I suspect you were expecting this response: we don't add language
semantics through annotations.
Technically, we're not adding language semantics. The JVM is the one
interpreting the annotations. BTW, as I mentioned in another post in this
thread, I specifically asked about this at the JVM Language Summit (in 2012
IIRC) and the answer was (by Alex IIRC) that there is no such rule.
Perhaps, but this isn't a court of law :) And the spirit here is pretty
clear.
But, keep trying! I know you're trying to help,and it only takes one
good idea.
