My 2 cents. If I remember correctly, "@" prefix in @safe, @trusted,
@system, etc was added just to avoid keywords pollution, right?
Now UDA uses the same prefix: if some new keywords/properties/attributes
will be added to D, the same problem will come back again... Is it a
crazy idea to deprecate @
for UDAs in favor of something else like #? In this way @xxx will be a
language attribute and #xxx will be a user defined attribute. No
pollution, no clashes.
Maybe it's not too late to do this change. I think it will be not a big
effort to replace uda syntax in existing projects (a deprecation warning
will help).
or make "safe" and company "context keywords". along with "body" (oh, how
i hate the unabilily to declare "body" member!")
+1 for body
I still haven't got the reason though, why "safe" and friends cannot
simply be UDAs defined in object.d that the compiler recognizes. I'd
also reserve a bunch of @attributes now to avoid a never ending sequence
of breaking changes (such as good anti-keywords to scope, immutable,
pure etc.).
