 * An data extension mechanism for Chalk.

 * An annotation can be of something like a TQByteArray or a TQString op a more specific
 * datatype that can be attached to an image (or maybe later, if needed, to a layer)
 * and contains data that must be associated with an image for purposes of import/export.

 * Examples of annotations are EXIF data and ICC profiles.
