Comment:

 Well, it wasn't as knock-on as expected, but doable :)

 Had to pay attention to a lot of other possibilities to define
 annotations:
   - module annotations,
   - type annotations (both class and data),
   - type class method annotations,
   - data constructor annotations.

 Raising back priority to normal: this is kind of important for people who
 try to use annotations from GHC API.  It's also blocking 7867, that I'm
 currently working on.
