I'd like to see *all* adjectives in the language, including those
inherited from other languages, turned into attributes.  That would be
consistent.  Historical precedent is less important to me than a clean
language.

To deal with the huge body of code that uses e.g. 'public' instead of
'@public', the compiler could be modified to accept both forms.  Then
the non-attribute form could be deprecated and finally removed.
