Compile-time custom annotation might be hard to implement. Do we really need it?
Going from compile-time to runtime might not be obvious too.


class MarkThis : CustomAnnotation
{

}

class A
{
   @MarkThis("test",10)
   void test()
   {
          //MarkThis obj = (MarkThis) getCustomAnnotation( ... ); //at runtime
          //even invoke methods of the annotation.
   }
}
