I do not care much for the use of ClassMethods modules. Though I suppose it's it is for the best, is there not a more concise name we can use? Perhaps DSL or Aid? Or maybe they can be outside of the scope the module they go with. e.g. Annotation & MetaAnnotation.

Often requested is the ability to designate default values for attributes. Eg.

attr :list, :default=>[]

Presently that requires a somewhat complex annotation hook. Perhaps it would be a good idea to provide direct support for :default as a special annotation.

Add an option to annotator to allow the new annotation method created to accept additional annotations. For example, where as we can currently do:

annotator :doc
doc "This is a doc annotation"

It might be useful at times to do:

annotator :doc, :ext => true
doc "This is a doc annotation", :tag => 'important'

Such that :tag is an additional annotation --in much the same way as it works with #attr.
