In practice, very little of Drupal's use of annotations in Drupal 8 fit either category. Rather, they're used primarily as, in essence, a serialized metadata object describing a class, which is used for registering that class and potentially others. I figured I'd give the proposed syntax a try with some Drupal examples and see how well it fit. > Disclaimer: I'm sure someone will pipe up with "your use case is invalid because you shouldn't be using annotations that way." What I would like to say yes. Very very loudly. But I am not sure about what is what or what defined what in your complex example Do you have a link to the source file so I can make an informed reply please?
