Re: PHP 5.4: Annotations

Hi Derick, I'm all for it. Although I have karma, I'm not an active PHP core contributor, but I would like to participate of such discussion, mainly because I have plenty experience with Annotations from another languages. I'll spend some time re-reading the entire Annotations thread and come up with another proposal at the right time.
