I don't mind the long name. Of all the options so far I really only like 'stringannotations' so let's go with that.

As someone else mentioned, we have function annotations and variable annotations already, which makes string_annotations sound like it's annotations for strings.

Contriwise, "annotation_strings" sounds like a different type of annotation -- they are now being stored as strings, instead of something else.
