Hi Dave, that's interesting and in some ways quite relevant.

I could express the annotations in XML and pass them alongside the
function in a sequence. However, I think that would make things quite
tricky indeed in this instance. I was rather looking for something
that "stuck" to the function, but was otherwise opaque.
