It didn't dramatically affect my serialization library. I already used a 
poor man's implementation of UDAs, perhaps that's why.

Without UDA:

class Foo
{
    int a;
    int b;

    mixin NonSerialized!(b);
}

With UDA:


class Foo
{
    int a;
    @nonSerialized int b;
}

The UDAs just add some syntax sugar.
