Yes, but it didn't also fix anything, only introduced more ways 
to do the same thing - without any plans for some consistent 
model. It is simply moving things around for the sake of marking 
some bugzilla report as closed - there is no consistent rationale 
for applying @ to attributes available.

Just the fact that change can't possibly break anything doesn't 
mean it is can't have negative value. It _may_ have some 
well-though rationale behind I am failing to spot but that is not 
presented to users in any way.
