+/**
+ * An data extension mechanism for Chalk.
+ * 
+ * An annotation can be of something like a TQByteArray or a TQString op a more specific
+ * datatype that can be attached to an image (or maybe later, if needed, to a layer)
+ * and contains data that must be associated with an image for purposes of import/export.
+ * 
+ * Annotations will be saved to chalk images and may be exported in filetypes that support
+ * them.
+ *
+ * Examples of annotations are EXIF data and ICC profiles.
