I came across an issue with UDAs and was wondering if there

Basically, my library has an @ignore UDA, which conflicts with 
vibe.d's vibe.data.serialization.

If both mine and vibe's module are imported, DMD will fail with 
a very non-descriptive error message, seen below... The obvious 
solution would be to prefix my UDAs, but then I suppose every 
library writer would have to abide by this convention, which in 
practice won't happen, and would bring us back to the C-style 
redundant symbol names all over. It's unpleasant to have to 
disambiguate even when not necessary... I suppose I could also 
do @mylibattr("ignore") instead, but this is also hideous and 
overly verbose...

I tried @mylib.ignore, which would not be too bad, if necessary 
only to disambiguate, but it seems like the parser doesn't 
understand it.

`@(mylib.ignore)` should work. You could open an enhancement 
request to enable the paren-less syntax.
