Hi,
I love this RFC. But I have a view questions.
1.

I am a absolute C noob but I have implemented named and unnamed
exceptions in userland. So it should also be possible in C, or not!? Are
the names from the constructor parameters not available through the
reflection API? This may be a little bit more overhead but I think
unnamed annotations are very useful.
[URL('http://www.php.net', 'PHP', 'blank')] or
[URL('http://www.php.net', 'PHP')] or
[URL('url' = 'http://www.php.net', 'name' = 'PHP', 'target' = 'blank')]
class URL extends ReflectionAnnotation {
public function __construct($url, $name, $target = 'self') {
}
}
instead of
[URL('url' = 'http://www.php.net', 'name' = 'PHP', 'target' = 'blank')]
class URL extends ReflectionAnnotation {
public $url;
public $title;
public $target = 'self';
public function __construct($params) {
}
}
For me an additional point for providing unnamed annotations is the
possibility to use type hinting. So it isn't possible to pass an integer
when an array is expected. I know I can validate the parameters in the
constructor. But this is additional work.
2. Is it possible to use nested annotations and what is the syntax?

Is it possible to define a use statement for an annotation instead of
defining the namespace alias over the reflection API?
namespace com\mohiva\framework\cache;
use com\mohiva\framework\annotations\File;
[File('/path/to/the/file')]
