How so?

Anyway, I totally agree that attributes NEED cleanup, it really 
makes zero sense to have some without "@" annotation. Really, 
keep Scott's talk in mind! :P

About code breakage: a sane deprecation path and an automated 
tool to make the code up-to-date will make sure there is zero 
discomfort for D users.

The alias for the @attribute set seems a very nice syntax to me.
