to PHP Addendum library
I noticed this RFC on the PHP site outlining a possible native
implementation of annotations: http://wiki.php.net/rfc/annotations

It bears a striking resemblance to addendum! I was wondering if the
RFC was based on your work or if your work was based on theirs? Either
way, it's nice that if they do implement it not much will have to
change to migrate code using addendum to language-native stuff.

One of the things that caught my eye though was that the RFC is
ambiguous about multiple instances of the same annotation on an
entity, whereas addendum is very explicit in allowing this. Has there
been any talk from the PHP guys about whether the native
implementation will support it?

I just want to be careful to make sure that I don't paint myself into
a corner - I want to be using annotations in the most future-proof way
I can.

Thanks again.

With the speed at which the php developers add things to php, it could be years before this gets implemented.  If at all.

I'm still waiting for traits to get in there...

Well I don't really know (and care), but I am doubtful about any
estimates that this lands in core PHP.
