I want to reiterate that the above is only a summary. Paul and Walter exchanged multiple emails in discussion of these issues, with both proposing ideas to solve them. Paul does an excellent job describing his rationale for only allowing the attribute on structs in the [section I noted above](https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/DIP1038.md#design-goals-and-possible-alternatives).
So this explains why the DIP lingered so long in formal assessment. I think the reason for the delay is good in itself, but it would have been better to update us a bit more on why the assessment is taking so long. From the outside it seemed it's likely forgotten.
Anyway, kudos for finally getting all settled!
