Basil would benefit from some sort of generalized user-level annotation feature. Some uses include:

Toggles for compiler optimizations (automatic struct field alignment)
Static checks (function overriding, pure function, etc)
Automated tooling, such as documentation generation or code analysis (coverage, timing, etc)

This would be great. Even greater if the "annotations" allowed for (nearly) arbitrary turing complete computations in compile time.
