I really thought the explanation that "we made all attibutes use the @

But I was very, very wrong. Looks like the community is giving a massive

I don't see why people seem to be against this, @pure and @nothrow seem
to fit right in under what I think of as attributes. Historical reasons
seems perfectly valid to me, considering most users will be coming to D
from other languages as opposed to learning from scratch. I agree the
rules you suggested need a little tweaking before they're there, they're
along the right lines though.
