I don't mind deprecating the syntax that nobody likes.  I mind the idea of 
removing it, because has the potential to break old code for no particularly 
good reason.

BTW I repeat, as far as I can tell, Ddoc will always place the attributes on the 
left of the function.  That needs to be fixed if the proposed patch is to go 
through.
