Who should put in the delimiters?  That is, should the sequence be
concatenated with "," or should one write:

ann
  "deadCode true,"
  "sequenceUnit true,"
  "warnMatch true,"
  "warnUnused true, forceUsed"
in

I actually prefer the single string constant.  I maintain that one spends
much less time writing .mlbs than writing .smls, and one spends even less
time writing annotations.  The above is about as big as they get, and that
includes the expert deadCode annotation.
