All review-related feedback on and discussion of the DIP
should occur in this thread. The review period will end at
11:59 PM ET on August 10 (3:59 AM GMT August 11), or when I
make a post declaring it complete.
At the end of Round 1, if further review is deemed necessary,
the DIP will be scheduled for another round. Otherwise, it
will be queued for the formal review and evaluation by the
language authors.
Thanks in advance to all who participate.

didn't get the rationale of the DIP at all. the only important
case -- attribute cancelation -- is either missing, or so
well-hidden that i didn't found it (except fast mention).
everything other looks like atronautical complexity for the
sake of having some "abstract good" (that is, for all my years
of using D as the only lanugage i'm writing code into, i never
had any need to "group defaults" or something -- only to
selectively cancel attrs).
tl;dr: ketmar absolutely didn't got what this DIP is about.
Hmm, maybe a "last applied wins" could work, although this may
require some complex changes to the compiler if the order that
attributes apply is unspecified.
As in reply to a sibling comment the change is very simple:
keyword- like function attributes instead become regular
attributes.
