Description Michael Rennie CLA 2015-04-13 13:30:13 EDT 
It would be useful if plugins could pass in an object of data to an annotation that they could later use.

For example in JavaScript we are working on a linting rule to detect missing NON-NLS comments for string literals. During the linting pass we compute all the infos we need to fix the problem, and would like to pass that along rather than take a huge performance hit later when trying to apply the fix (and have to compute that info all over again).
