      In order to support explicitly selecting instance annotations on primitive, enum, and collection-valued properties, we would need to ehance the ABNF to support property annotations as in:

      selectProperty = primitiveProperty 
               / primitiveAnnotationInQuery
               / primitiveProperty primitiveAnnotationInQuery

      We added the ability to explicitly $select/$expand an instance annotation by including the annotation in the $select list. However, according to the ABNF, this annotation is of the form @ns.termNamequalifier which makes it impossible to $select an annotation applied to a primitive, enum, or collection-valued property (which would be of the form propertyName@ns.termName):

      primitiveAnnotationInQuery = annotationInQuery
      annotationInQuery = AT [ namespace "." ] termName [ HASH annotationQualifier ]
