But I explained that most function attributes don't only apply to 
functions but to variables as well:

public, protected, package, private, static, const,
immutable, inout, and deprecated

So it can be consistent that the above don't use @.

These only affect functions, not variables, so should be @attributes IMO:

final, override, abstract

These affect both:

return, ref

So if we want some kind of consistency, we can achieve it by adding @ 
for final, override, abstract, and removing it for 'return'.
