Agreed: the `annotation-function` is much too limited. I don't think "in addition" is right tho: the new functionality should aim to replace the current `annotation-function`. Tangentially related are the :company-doc-buffer, :company-docsig, and :company-location properties, which aren't documented (and were designed simply to match what `company-mode` needed), and might deserve to be more properly added to the official API.
