#' Annotate the interactions in a GInteractions object
#'
#' This function annotates the regions of a GInteractions object according to
#' their overlaps with `annotations`, a list of named GRanges (or GRangesList)
#' objects.
#'
#' Metadata columns will be added to the regions of the GInteractions object,
#' named according to the names of `annotations` and containing the id(s) of the
#' corresponding overlapping genomic interval(s). If `annotations` is not named,
#' the metadata columns will be named 'FEATURE#.id' where # is the position in
#' the list.
#'
#' IDs for features in each element of annotations will be extracted according
#' to the following rules: if the annotation features are a GRanges object and a
#' metadata column is specified using `id.col`, this column will be used as
#' feature IDs. Otherwise, if the annotation features are named, their names
#' will be used. If neither of these are present, they will be given numeric
#' IDs.
#'
#' For each anchor a 'node.class' metadata column will also be added, containing
#' the name of the list element which was \emph{first} annotated to each range.
#' Ranges with no overlaps will be classified as 'distal'.
#'
#' @param GIObject A GInteractions object to be annotated
#' @param annotations A list containing GRanges (or GRangesList) objects with
#'   which to annotate the GInteractions object.
#' @param id.col Metadata column of GRanges objects to use as feature ID.
#'   Default: NULL.
