Right. What I meant (which perhaps wan't what I said), was that we
should define the order in which functions that operate on these
annotations execute, regardless of the mechanism. Say, for example, I
have the following function definition:
def foo(arg1:[bar(1), baz(2)]):
...
However the (unspecified user defined machinery that handles the)
annotation processing gets to foo(), if it knows about how to handle the
'bar' and 'baz' annotations, a properly written annotation processor
will handle the 'bar' annotation before the 'baz' annotation.
