Let it be just a declaration, as simple as that. Attributes affect other

Sure it does:
private:
int a;
int b;
equivalent to
private int a;
private int b;
static if(x):
int a;
int b;
equivalent to
static if(x) int a;
static if(x) int b;

Yes, I agree static if does not fit the understood meaning of an
attribute. And it can apply to statements too, whereas attributes can only
apply to declarations (right?).
In reality, static if is in a league with version and debug, and they
share similarities to both statements and attributes.
