We wouldn't have to implement this for all the backends -- we could bind
`C-x v g' to a command that does new-style annotations if the backend
supports it, and fall back to the current functions if they don't.

Oh, and we could also implement annotations for just a narrowed-to
region while we're at it.  (This has also been requested a few times.)
