Glad to see I'm not the only one to think like this :-)
Later more semantic attributes can be added, for example to express things that the compiler can use to parallelize code better, to know about pointer aliasing, to tell the compiler what asm functions can be inlined (currently done with a pragma in LDC), etc.

What syntax do you want to use when you want more than one attribute?
@something1 @somethingelse
