On one side you have annotation dictionaries.
On the other side you have field dictionaries.
In many cases, a field dictionary corresponds
with one annotation dictionary (of type widget).
Therefore it is usual to combine the two different
types of dictionaries into one dictionary.
iText disentangles those dictionaries.
item.values contains the field specific entries.
item.widget contains the annotation specific entries.
item.merged contains both (it's a 'merged' dictionary).
That's why you get the quickinfo both in the widget
dictionary and the merged dictionary.
