How about just "annotations", then?

I was thinking more like:
struct annotation {
char *name;
int array_len;
enum { INT, LONG, FLOAT, DOUBLE } value_type;
union {
int *i_values;
long *l_values;
float *f_values;
double *d_values;
/* other types if you want them */
} values;
unsigned *indexes; /* I'm not sure what this is for? */
};
