Haha yeah :).� I only was telling that if we chose a non-pragma way to add metadata to a class, we cannot be benefited (simply) with a pragma collector, hehe.

But that's because I didn't understand what you meant about using class methods to add metadata.

Did you check setting?
Did you check how pragma collection is done?
Because it can help me to understand your answer.
