Composability of scalac plugins?

At least for the moment the plugins probably don't compose well. There
are several cases in the CPS plugin where I assume @cps is the only
annotation on a given type. But these are all implementation issues
(using type.withAnnotations/withoutAnnotations was just more
convenient than doing the right thing) and I'm pretty sure they can
(and should) be fixed.
