Not at all. A and B need only use overloadable functions, and the problem is trivially resolved by adding overloads. The author of C can add an overload to "A" that will handle objects with 'next' attributes, or add one to "B" that handles tuples, or both.

Phillip, you still haven't explained what to do if the code processing the annotations is in a separate program altogether, to which the user has no access in order to overload methods or perform other such modifications.
