Annotations, well, they should
give information to tool chains.

Of course we can try to turn every
framework into a tool. (Also a
kind of business model)

But this doesn't make the resulting
artefact more lightweight.

You will have as a result:
- the framework
+ the annotation definitions (for Java)
+ the annotation processor (at runtime
   eventually, so that there is no real
   tool step)

And then you loose flexibility, in
case the framework gets locked away
from the end-user (the programmer).
