Personally, I'd much prefer that we not make this change.
It's good to have this discussion.
Previously, it's all been advocacy and "break my code" by forcing a change from
pure => @pure.
Just a few days ago on slashdot, an anonymous D user wrote:
"A horrible mix of keywords and annotation syntax for function/method
attributes ('const', 'pure', and 'nothrow' are all keywords, but
'@property', and '@nogc' are annotations)"
for why he won't use D anymore.
Frankly, I think that is a great bikeshedding non-issue that distracts us from
what is important. I hope that by doing this PR, we can actually decide that it
isn't worth it, i.e. I'd be happy to get consensus and revert it.
