  default_retval

       my $retval = $da->default_retval;

    The default result (annotation) value returned when none of the rules
    that are checked as part of a call to "evaluate" provides anything
    meaningful back.

    Initialized by key default in the constructor.

  description

       my $text = $da->description;

    An optional description for the Data::Annotation definition. It will be
    useful for you in a couple of months, after you forgot everything about
    it.

  parse_context

       my $ctx = $da->parse_context;

    Whatever was passed as argument condition-parse-context, which can help
    set the stage for condition parsing. This should not be generally
    needed, but still. See Data::Annotation::Expression for more details.

 Methods

  chains_list

    Get the sorted list of chains (as strings).

  evaluate

       my $result = $da->evaluate($chain_name, $data);

    Evaluate the annotation for some $data, starting at chain named
    $chain_name.

  has_chain_for

       my $bool = $da->has_chain_for($chain_name);

    Check if there is a chain definition whose name is $chain_nameo

  inflate_chains

       $da->inflate_chains;

    Make sure all input chain definitions are inflated, i.e. turned into
    "Data::Annotation::Chain" objects. This makes sure the definitions
    parse correctly.

  overlay_cloak

       my $overlay = $da->overlay_cloak($data, %opts);

    Shorthand to the constructor for "Data::Annotation::Overlay", passing
    $data as the under option and then the rest of %opts:
