I'd also like to see other keywords (nothrow, pure, override come to

I'd welcome if that happens. My personal favorite is "align", it is
common, hard to replace word when one works with text/graphics/forms/
layout stuff, and as D keyword, it is rarely used.
Some other candidates are at http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/
attribute.html, maybe except "auto", it feels more like command to me
than attribute.
What about immutable/const - are they @attributes?. Also function
parameter attributes = in/inout/ref - will it be possible to apply
attribute to fn parameters?
immutable and const are qualifiers. That doesn't necessarily preclude
their usage with @, but it does make different from e.g. @pure.
(It seems that what should be @attribute and what not is for big
discussion.)
I agree.
