But then, would it make sense to reuse @Boost instead of a separated
annotation as it is today?
The main reason for using an explicit @Dynamic boost was to be more
explicit.
Using @Boost means we need to add another parameter 'boostStrategyImpl'
which would
default to DefaultBoostStrategy.
The question is then what you do if someone specifies a boost value, eg
2.0f together
with a CustomBoostStrategy? Throw an exception, print a warning, apply
both? I guess
we would have to apply both, so effectively you define two boost values
with the same
annotation.
Both solutions - standalone @DynamicBoost or dynamic boosting rolled into
@Boost - have
their pro and cons. Personally I lean towards @DynamicBoost at the moment.
