That might just work, but it's still close to currently possible code.
Why don't we use something that would currently produce a parse error
and is not as close to valid code
as the examples above?
<<< Annotation('abc'), foo >>> // Used <<< as it's different from
T_SL, but it works for hack, so maybe drop a <>
class DEF {}
comes to mind.
