I think this gives you the same array structure as in your example but it
uses no nested annotations.

You write that the developers should implement her complex class based
solution in userland. How would you handle aliasing for classes there?
Anywhere I must define the alias or the namespace of the annotation class,
otherwise I must register all annotations(annotation name => fully
qualified class name) used in my application before using them. Using
annotations from different frameworks with the same name makes this a pain.
