I'd very much like to see method annotations in Squeak. However, why
not use an implementation that's compatible with VW's pragmas?
AFAICT, the VW syntax is a superset of the Tweak syntax, and it has a
very similar implementation, with the annotations stored in the
literal frame of the CompiledMethod.
