I didn&#39;t understand if you want to replace the class pragmas with a simple class method for adding metadata, or to add the pragmas in a class method.<br><br>In the first case I think I would like to have class pragmas because:<br>
<br>- we can have a single, well known way, or concept, to generate metadata, which can allow us to:<br>- build tools that can work with class and method pragmas in the same way (not only frameworks, a pragma browser can be benefited by this).<br>
<br>If the metadata is disperse we have to know a lot of ways to do the same, or each one will define it&#39;s own.� And we can&#39;t (or it should be difficult to) have tools to work with that metadata uniformly.<br><br>
I don&#39;t know why this should be less cheaper than a class method.� I don&#39;t think this is reaaally hard to do also... :S.� It&#39;s even simpler than the method pragmas, because we don&#39;t have to change the compiler :P.<br>

Just to have a better grasp of your reasoning: Are you suggesting we put annotations in a method and just have it/them lumped in an &#39;Annotations&#39; protocol or are you suggesting a more radical change which will require the toolset to have changes in sync to them?<br>

But yes this would be important.<br>

Alex if we use comment we would have to parse them and this is not good.<br>

&gt; Hi,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; while it is possible to annotate methods using Pragmas,<br>
&gt; what about classes?<br>
&gt;<br>
