That could be the case - I'd have to look at the grammar or parser to be sure -
but that would be a poor way to do it if you ever intended to have user-defined
attributes. Normally, @ would be in the grammar as a separate symbol indicating
that the symbol immediately followed was an identifier which was an attribute.
It's quite possible, however, that @property is currently treated as a single
symbol which is a keyword. I doubt that it will stay that way in the long term
though, if it is the case.
