I also don't think you can discuss annotations without simultaneously
discussing their implementation. To me, it looks like you're trying to
force through a vote on a very vague topic "should PHP support
Annotations", and then use that vote later to force through an
implementation that many core people have already said is not
desirable.
Many of the arguments that are central to the question of "should PHP
support Annotations" MUST deal with their implementation because they
add a large new set of syntax to the language.
I doubt anyone would support annotations "at any cost", and yet that's
the vote you're trying to force here.
This argument doesn't make any sense. This is a common strategy for
dealing with complex matters.
For instance, in my country laws are first discussed and voted on the
general principles, then it's discussed and voted on the details (possibly
in committees) and finally there's a final overall vote.
