Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
I would like to be able to hide {Brace-enclosed annotations} from the disassembly output. Ideally there would be a ShowAnnotations enumerator (which can be unset) in the BNDisassemblyOption enumeration.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
I suppose not, but it feels like a problem to me. :(

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
Manually filtering the tokens returned by BasicBlock::GetDisassemblyText.

Research direction

Start by reading the BNDisassemblyOption enumeration and BasicBlock::GetDisassemblyText API mentioned in the issue. Trace how disassembly options affect returned tokens, then confirm that an unset ShowAnnotations option hides brace-enclosed annotations without changing other output.
