I thought that the attributes were just using the same behavior 
as public/private/etc.

Anyway, isn't that the same type of behavior this DIP is 
suggesting? There is an @nogc module foo; example in the DIP that 
has a gc function included and doesn't say anything about it 
being an error.

The DIP has a list of attributes not encompassed, but there are 
missing attributes from [1]. For instance, the visibility 
attributes are not encompassed, but that is not mentioned. In 
this case, they are grouped and have a default (public) and an 
opposite (private). However, it would break a lot of code to 
force them to use @. Might be useful to mention why not included.
