Like others in this thread have said, it needs more rationale.
The rationale only mentions one actual problem: attributes can't

compiler attributes directly (e.g. @!nogc).
Instead of coming up with more problems to solve, it then dives
into describing an entire framework for doing *things* with
attributes. To be totally honest, as it stands it feels like
