  `DependencyAnnotation` is used by the framework to extend DI.
  
  Only annotations implementing `DependencyAnnotation` are added to the list of dependency
  properties.
  
  For example:
  
  ```
  class Parent extends DependencyAnnotation {}
  class NotDependencyProperty {}
  
  class AComponent {
    constructor(@Parent @NotDependencyProperty aService:AService) {}
  }
  ```
  
  will create the following dependency:
  
  ```
  new Dependency(Key.get(AService), [new Parent()])
  ```
  
  The framework can use `new Parent()` to handle the `aService` dependency
  in a specific way.
