All things being equal, it would be nicer to have consistency, 
but do we really I want to break almost all existing code?

I know you've proposed a tool to do the transition, but there are 
lots of unmaintained projects out there that are still used, and 
tutorials/articles/books/university courses written using the 
existing syntax. Those likely won't be, or can't be changed 
easily.

One possible compromise might be to leave the old syntax there 
for legacy reasons, but allow (and encourage) @pure, @nothrow, 
etc.
