Hi!
I completely agree about usefulness annotations.
Today it may be created like this using Metalua 
(http://lua-users.org/wiki/MetaLua) extension:

local someTable = {
-{ persistent() }
id = 15,
-{ persistent() }
name = 'user',
}

You mean, that should be clear syntax like:

local someTable = {
@persistent
id = 15,
@persistent
name="user",
}

Am I correct?
