The title is pretty self explanatory. It means that if you have an assertion with annotations, the AssertionError thrown will contain the instances of the annotations' classes.
try
{
"foo"
bar baz qux assert(exists obj);
}
catch(AssertionError error)
{
print(error.annotations);
}
The other day I was just thinking about how useless annotations in assertions are. It feels weird to allow such thing only so you can have the doc annotation there. I thought then: to solve the problem "they don't do anything", instead of disallowing them, why not make them actually do stuff?
