Another thing to keep in mind, and which my scription utility will probably switch to, is that we are not stuck only 
with __annotations__ -- we can also add other attributes, such as __scription__ or __plac__ or __my_custom_stuff__ or 
whatever.

It could easily be that coexisting means use a decorator instead of annotations, and store the info in a different 
attribute.  As a bonus this method is even 2.x compatible.
