That requires all annotations to be in the future module. This is not acceptable, as there is a desire to provide user-defined annotations as well.

Oh dear. Does this mean that @x is a potential annotation for any identifier x? This would be very bad for Leo.

I was using future by way of explanation. I do hope namespaces could somehow denote annotations. My off-the-cuff suggestion was for pseudo-modules, so maybe the normal module rules could be sidestepped?
