Given that you are parsing the directives now, this doesn't seem like a problem.

I worry that silently dropping an annotation on the floor if it has a prefix
will cause problems for users.

Done.

+    // constructor null. It parses "@x.y.z()" as prefix "x", annotation "y", and
+    // named constructor "z".
+
+    // Always skip annotations with constructor names, because they must also
+    // have prefixes and we assume unittest metadata never has a prefix.

Since you don't handle adjacent strings (which is fine), it might be good to be
explicit here like "single String literal".

[nweiz, 2015/03/12 23:40:22]

StringLiteral is the superclass of both adjacent strings and ccontinuous
strings.
