Description

Ideally, I thought that given this:

```
annotations:
- annotationProperty: exact_synonym
text: "ultrasonography of %s"
vars:
- location
```

In my DOSDP pattern, I can simply add a column `defined_class_exact_synonym` to my TSV file to overwrite, but this does not work.

Adding `override: exact_synonym_override` currently does not work because this is not in the DOSDP spec. @dosumis

Review the DOSDP specification and the current documentation for generated columns and annotation properties. Determine whether the documented outcome should explain that overriding is unsupported or specify the supported syntax; done means the behavior and any limitation are clearly documented.
