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 stringannotations sound like it's annotations for strings. Contriwise, "annotationstrings" sounds like a different type of annotation -- they are now being stored as strings, instead of something else. ​Or a step further (longer), with annotations_as_strings.
