I think such way won't need so complicated parsing. We'll be able to
handle such data easily with assq (or assv or assoc). If you want to
know detailed infomation, google by 'association list'.

I like:

I doubt whether such extention is really need. In uim, there would be no
way to dictinct annotation/usage/comment. All of them will be shown in
subwindow, that will be all that uim can. (Or we should change the color
of annotation/usage/comment? If so, there is a need to distinct them.)
