One of the previous threads put forth something like this:template MyAttribute(alias subject, T... arguments) { /* some implementation */ The attribute is a template that replaces the declaration. So you type: [MyAttribute("foo")] class Something {} And the compiler rewrites that to: class __anonymous_Something {} alias Something = MyAttribute!(__anonymous_Something, "foo"); ... or something like that. I'm going off memory here. But then you can use the template to do whatever you'd normally do with a template. For some reason this feels incomplete to me. I know one of those proposals enabled something we can't really do now, whereas what I described here of course *can* be done now.
Seems like a poor man's replacement for macro annotations: http://scalamacros.org/future.html -- /Jacob Carlborg
