Annotated class
The virtual class Annotated is used to standardize the
storage of metadata with a subclass.
The Annotated class supports the storage of global metadata in a
subclass. This is done through the metadata slot that stores a list
object.
In the code snippet below, x is an Annotated object.
metadata(x), metadata(x) <- value: Get or set the list
holding arbitrary R objects as annotations. May be, and often is, empty.
