// This file contains the declarations for two classes: Annotation & Annotable.
// Using these two simple classes, anything that derives from Annotable can have
// Annotation subclasses attached to them, ready for easy retrieval.
//
// Annotations are designed to be easily attachable to various classes.
//
// The AnnotationManager class is essential for using these classes.  It is
// responsible for turning Annotation name strings into tokens [unique id #'s]
// that may be used to search for and create annotations.

// by the Annotable::getOrCreateAnnotation method.  To get this to work, simply
// register an annotation handler
