I had to read up on your older posts again. So you are not expecting compiler hooks that allow to change the language semantics and code gen through user attributes, but a common syntax especially for bundling multiple compiler/user attributes like "@attr(safe, nothrow, userattr(abc), inline, ...) my_attr_alias" in the event that there will be a lot of platform specific and other pragmas/attributes/keywords like in GCC in the future? Then I tend to agree.
