I've noticed that recent languages like Go and Swift are trying to have both by bundling a code fixer with new versions of their language.

An automated code fixer in this case would be easy. Before looking up on the wiki why we couldn't do @pure @nogc func() I considered I could just add a pre-build step which does a string replacement on the source code from "@keyword" to "keyword" for each keyword which can be used as a function attribute.

Given a change to allowing "@keyword", existing source code would just need to be checked for containing "@keyword" and prompting to replace it with something else.
