Do we (already) have some kind of pragma like mechanism to annotate classes? I mean a general mechanism that one can use to mark classes with pragmas/settings/ ...?
There are various scenarios where this might be useful: - an ORM mapper would like to associate a persistence class with a table name - an NBExternalStructure subclass wrapping a structure can be annotated with the original struct name - ...
Why so complicated (e.g. pragmas) ? Just add one more inst var , like 'annotation' for Class object and you have it.
