[forge-dev] [Roaster] Don't know how to add an annotation inside another one

[Lincoln Baxter, III]

Hey Antonio,

I don't really know how to do this off the top of my head. My guess is that
you'll need to do what you've done for the prior elements and provide the
definition using a String. Will this work until we can add this
functionality to the API?
