That is a good part of my point. The other part being that surprise 
feature dropped in master, not only impair stability, but also impair 
the ability for developing tooling around D.

My problem isn't the feature itself. I'm all for annotation. But the way 
it is added in the language make nonsense and is even dangerous for D.

Exactly. And propose the feature in an experimental branch or something 
before pushing it to master, so people can test it, it can be refined as 
needed and 3rd party tool can adapt to it.
