I frequently find myself needing something like this. What's wrong with
aliasing attributes directly?
DGC/LDC offer their own internal attributes, but you can't make use of
them and remain portable without an ability to do something like the
#define hack in C.
Unfortunately, it doesn't fit very well with the grammar to allow
something like
alias @property const final nothrow @safe pure propertyGet;
(or some special syntax) and then parse
propertyGet UserType fun();
because it's ambiguous whithout semantic knowlegde of the identifiers.
It becomes unambiguous with UDA syntax, though:
@propertyGet UserType fun();
I suspect propertyGet would have to describe some new "entity" that
needs to be able to be passed around, aliased, used in CTFE, etc.
