Sure you can! But this is *itself* a weak argument, unless you
actually have a codebase that uses it. YAGNI comes to mind. When do
you actually need to annotate with multiple styles like this, and
should everyone pay the price (the disconnect from from the function
name) even though this is almost never needed?
