> When expanding a meta annotation alias into its annotation collection, it is sometimes useful to be able to ensure the newly added annotations have a specific ordering with respect to the other annotations that might be on an annotated node. Currently there is a one size fits all approach. This issue proposes adding an annotation parameter to {{@AnnotationCollection}} which lets the collected annotations be placed at the front, end and inplace.
> Assuming {{@A}} and {{@C}} are annotations and {{@B}} an annotation collector aliasing two annotations {{@B1}} and {{@B2}}, then if we have the following annotation list: {{@A @B @C}} it will be replaced by the following lists of annotations:
> {code}
> FIRST: @B1 @B2 @A @C
> INPLACE: @A @B1 @B2 @C
> LAST: @A @C @B1 @B2
> {code}
