OK, we seem to have reached a consensus and I agree that "explicit"
should  be optional as you said.
Robert said on a different thread that many good ideas and suggestions
get lost in the depth of the NG threads. since I don't know how to use
the bugzilla and don't even know where it is, may I ask you to please
add this suggestion to there as an enhancement request so it won't be
lost and maybe Walter would even agree to add it to D [fingers
crossed... :)].

regarding annotations/attributes: should we move this to a new thread
and further discuss it, or maybe add it to bugzilla now as well?
