The whole rule banning meta data storage is very very limited right now… e.g it
does never get cleaned, is never updated
if the code it annotates changes and has many problems.
The long-term solution I want to do is to improve meta-data for code storage
and use it for the rule banning
and for things we might abuse pragmas now.
But that will no be soon, and there are lots of things to be taken into account
for a nice design.
For me the pragma is a nice intermediate solution: per selector, survives
rename of method, rename of
class, move method, is visible…
