After reading the thread my vote goes to the struct proposal.
The two approaches functions vs. structs are functionally
equivalent but conceptually structs are preferable. Attributes
are meta _data_ which is conceptually associated with types
whereas functions are conceptually associated with behaviour.
simply put - structs are the more intuitive choice.
There are valid concerns raised about the implementation - code
bloat, struct default ctor, etc. those are implementation
concerns that should be handled in the compiler and not in the
language design.
