If I understand Dmitry correctly, this would be stored as the

memory besides the function opcodes, but not evaluated.
Right. It's even not compiled into bytecode, just parsed into AST and
then associated with function/class/property like doc-comment.
You're right, it contains code. The key point is that this code
will never be executed nor used in any way until an external
mechanism decides to retrieve and evaluate it. That's metadata.
Right again.
Hi,
thank you for the answers. I understand the "anything is possible"
argument and would like to see/push future ideas in direction of
domain-specific languages (DSL) opposite to another aspect-oriented
programming (AOP) extension as in current examples. Sorry for offtopic.
Thanks
