Isn't answering to a message not enough?

Like #nbStruc #ormTableName etc.

Pragmas are somehow orthogonal to the common message sending and method lookup.

Do we (already) have some kind of pragma like mechanism to annotate

There are various scenarios where this might be useful:

Why so complicated (e.g. pragmas) ? Just add one more inst var , like 'annotation' for Class object
and you have it.
