They are used by the automatic request.params to object instantiation code (
reques.fill, obj.create_with(request), obj.assign(request) etc). I think we
can extract this out of the annotation code.


2) This hunk of code is Nitro specific:

yeap we should factor this out. Please don't reuse the included_as_property
Nitro callback. Just other another callback and I will override this to add
nitro specific code (included_as_property and the stuff you quoted).

thanks for your work,
George.
