Hello squeakers,
Of the long and exiting list of things that are in consideration for 3.9a, one is MethodAnnotations. This is a changeset that was done by Andreas long time ago (2002, I think) and it's used extensively in Tweak. At SCG, we have used it for ByteSurgeon and are using it for another ongoing project.

Any comments? Does anyone see a problem with the annotations itself or the implementation?
I'd very much like to see method annotations in Squeak. However, why not use an implementation that's compatible with VW's pragmas? AFAICT, the VW syntax is a superset of the Tweak syntax, and it has a very similar implementation, with the annotations stored in the literal frame of the CompiledMethod.
