This RFC consists of two parts: parsing API and parser extension API. Last
one can be rejected, however it can be perfectly connected with annotation
RFC (if AST will be used as values)
As for annotations, general use-case is appreciated. This can be extended
later in future versions of PHP. Therefore, annotation syntax should allow
to define key and values. Value can be valid expression (AST? concrete
node? compiled value?) or can recursively contain nested annotations.
