I suspect you were expecting this response: we don't add language semantics through annotations. Technically, we're not adding language semantics. The JVM is the one interpreting the annotations. BTW, as I mentioned in another post in this thread, I specifically asked about this at the JVM Language Summit (in 2012 IIRC) and the answer was (by Alex IIRC) that there is no such rule.

Perhaps, but this isn't a court of law :) And the spirit here is pretty clear.

But, keep trying! I know you're trying to help,and it only takes one good idea.
