Fixes #457
Several improvements to annotation/metadata handling:
While this fixes #457, there is still residual issues with how we summarize metadata in the front-end (specfically,
world.summary
assumes all annotation/metadata values can be safely converted to Object lables/strings without losing information). There will be another PR to fix that.
