native annotation support?

[Hao Wu <wuhao.wise@...>]

Hi,

I know there are a zillion ways to do this, but it sounds to me that
they will either need an additional compilation step or a customized
interpreter, or extra keystrokes :(

What I am asking for is a simple '@' symbol for annotation that would
be safely discarded; (-- would work, but I would just hope for an even
simpler symbol)

Would this ever be taken?

Thanks
