Value Objects, Marker Annotation Support

Since this request feels a bit early in the preview lifecycle I'll try to
keep it brief. I decided to bring it up as it would likely involve a
Specification Update and I have no idea how long that takes to outline.

Have annotations been considered for the value modifier? My thought process
here is that the identity of a given annotation isn't particularly useful,
and the immutable behavior of Annotations mean they fall into a similar
bucket as Records, where Identity *could* be useful, but not necessary.

I tried to scrub over some of the resources, but I couldn't find if this
topic had been covered.

Thanks,
