I would think the reason would be it could make the grammar
ambiguous. That's why I proposed it only be valid on the
right hand side of the function to guarantee it doesn't
introduce any ambiguity. Other then that, I don't see any
reason why it's a bad thing. It doesn't make the syntax more
complicated, it doesn't maker it harder to parse, I just
don't see why its bad.
Thats not possible:
@safe {
void some func() // now valid
}
safe:
void some func() // now valid
safe {
void some func() // could not be valid
}
safe:
void some func() // could not be valid
So you need more places where keyword needs to be contextual
keyword
And this is a path I am not sure we want to go.
None of those cases would valid. Non-Keyword attributes
without a '@' must be on the right hand side of the function
parameters.
Then I'm afraid the proposal is pointless :-( The goal AIUI is to
make the language more consistent. If we can't use the new syntax
everywhere (and later get rid of the old one), we can't achieve
that.
