I am rethinking my reasons for closing a similar issue before:
http://objectstyle.org/jira/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=CAY-56
My concern was loading extra junk in runtime. Now that we are adding
annotations, we'll have to implement a way to turn on and off loading
of extra metadata. It will probably be the same solution for comments
as well as annotations. So I am no longer against it.
