OK, that's another thing. And maybe a reason for listening to people having

For me the analogy with Exceptions is pretty good. The issues an conveniences
of throwing anything or annotating a symbol with anything instead of just
type are pretty much the same. I only see functions making sense to be accepted
as annotations too (that's what Python do with annotations, @annotation symbol
is the same as symbol = annotation(symbol), but is quite a different language).
I start to more and more think it would be better to explicitly require
the developer to declare an attribute, like:
attribute foo
{
string name;
}
@foo("asd") int a;
