I have checked Joost implementation and generally seems ok (logically
most important part for me about "when" and "how" is called constructor

Branch is waiting almost 3 years (sic!).
That's because
a) it breaks the syntax for procedure attributes that has existed since
the beginning in FPC in case such an attribute comes right after a
procedure declaration (like procedure test; [public, alias: 'abc'];). At
the very least the attributes need an extra modeswitch to activate them
in order not to potentially break existing code by default.
b) the generated type info is Delphi-incompatible (TAttributeData vs
TAttrData, no TAttrEntry). Some people wanted it to be
Delphi-compatible, other people considered this is an implementation
detail and that we do not have to follow Delphi here.
