Same for any symbol. Do you have a solution?
Long time ago I have proposed to actually define built-it
attributes as UDA's in public druntime module. That way any
possible conflict can be resolved relatively easy with dfix
using module system disambugation (or just hard-code druntime
symbols to be legal to shadow by user ones, though that sounds
too much of a magic and surprise)
I suppose, when UDA conflicts with builtin attribute, that UDA
can be still disambiguated through module system.
