It might be nice.  This might be problematic; because @I cannot  
annotate method receiver while regular polymorphic annotations can.

In a more technical note, @I requires a value; and maybe all  
polymorphic systems could benefit from it.  However, there is no  
mechanism to enforce an annotation to have a value!
