Description
Currently, the VRS VCF annotator can be used to add full VRS IDs for all REF and ALT alleles to VCF records, e.g. (you'll probably need to scroll right):
```
chr1 783006 . A G 50 PASS platforms=4;platformnames=PacBio,Illumina,10X,CG;datasets=4;datasetnames=CCS15kb_20kb,HiSeqPE300x,10XChromiumLR,CGnormal;VRS_Allele_IDs=ga4gh:VA.dwwiZdvVtfAmomu0OBsiHue1O-bw5SpG,ga4gh:VA.MiasxyXMXtOpsZgGelL3c4QgtflCNLHD;VRS_Starts=783005,783005;VRS_Ends=783006,783006;VRS_States=A,G GT:PS:DP:ADALL:AD:GQ 1/1:.:652:16,234:0,82:312
```
These include `ga4gh:` prefixes. In a file with a lot of rows, this could add a small but nontrivial amount of memory; can we infer (or maybe state explicitly in the corresponding header description) the prefix and leave it off to conserve space?
Similarly, can we leave the `VA.` prefix? Will VCF attributions with this tool always produce alleles?
