For loop for annotation creation in FS

My plan: I just wanted to create quick new version of the "Part Number" property example FS.
When I looked at the code I was suprised by the extreme repetition in the code. I think it could be solved with a few small lists. But it seems that the limitation is annotation creation that does not accept for loops.

annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "Part Number" }
export const partNumber = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)

I believe Ilya didn't use array parameters in that example because right now, they can't be configured (If you want this functionality, please request it!)

See the result: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/6d98f6b9970b451ad1ea02d9/w/f2d80f916670b2e22b04c23d/e/be217d6c0f6b483e0594d33a
Offtopic: However I'm confused with the toString parsing. An isAnything with the value "diameter in mm" will be parsed as "diameter *inch *millimeter" => See entered values in V1 of the doc. Expected "diameter in mm"
Offtopic 2: Any way to insert whitespace in a partname as separator? I tried setting tefault to " " but it does not work.
