Thanks for the effort in doing this!

Idea: We should have history.md as part of the proposal's repo!

Traceur had an experimental feature called annotations which was contributed by the Angular team.

It had the same syntax as decorators but didn't change the semantics of the code. Instead it added meta data to objects that could later be inspected and used for whatever one wanted.

Thanks @arv! I’ve mentioned Traceur (fond memories of ES6 times!) here: https://2ality.com/2022/10/javascript-decorators.html#history-of-decorators
