The idea is the simple, general rule that:

   attribute declaration;
   attribute { declaration; }
   attribute: declaration;

behave the same way.

C++ is full of special cases which nobody remembers until they bite.

Having a simple, general rule with maybe a less favorable effect here and there 
is preferable to a complex set of special cases that try to do the optimal thing 
in each case.
