This looks like a solution in search of a problem. What's the
problem being solved?
[snip]
Annotations are useful in many ways, but without full reflection
capabilities, they are restricted to things that can read them via
source code, and so they are no better than comments.
This is a very, very important observation, and I think it belongs in
the DIP. It means that it probably doesn't make much sense to implement
annotations without also having an intention to implement full-blown
reflection.
