You can't. Schema compilation doesn't always capture the full original
schema. It's bit like trying to translate from English to Japanese back
to English. When you do that, the sentence will be surprisingly different.
If you'd like to retain those information, you perhaps need to write a
plugin and capture them into your own annotation that your schema
generator can then read.
