My opinion is that the current situation is not that bad: it's 
some sort of bottom-up approach.

Almost always, in a company, programmers are under time pressure 
and rushing, so I bet that almost always they will add a @system: 
on the top of the module.

Maybe not true, but It come in my mind the Java "throw Exception" 
parade in function declaration....
