We know, we've been asking for this internally. Last I heard we weren't going to get it because of schedule but we'll see.

In AS3 it's possible to get info about instance of a class at runtime with help of describeType. Futhermore we can use metadata tags like [Binding] or [Event] and so forth. But metadata as it exists now is just a compiler directives, not a "real connectivity" right? What do you think of adding a feature to give AS3 programmers an opportunity to create own metadata types like annotations Java or C#. Say, programmer declare metadata format somehow (for example, have a look at @interface in Java) and then adds data... Say, like this: [MetadataType(param="", param2="")]. During compilation this data is stored in class description so coder can get it as XML with one declateType call. A couple of use case examples... With this feature we can describe serizlization / deserialization parameters in XML or binary format; custom metadata would be a great thing for Unit testing frameworks developers. So what do you guys think of it?
