I'd like to see *all* adjectives in the language, including those inherited from other languages, turned into attributes. That would be consistent. Historical precedent is less important to me than a clean language. To deal with the huge body of code that uses e.g. 'public' instead of '@public', the compiler could be modified to accept both forms. Then the non-attribute form could be deprecated and finally removed. -- Rainer Deyke - [email protected]
