So that they don't have to be keywords.


What is the rule for use of '@'?
It does feel inconsistent to me too...


@word are attributes. Attributes were added late to the D language in

That isn't true. Reducing keywords was NOT presented a primary rationale
for adding attributes.

Thanks for clearing up my memory. Was the primary rational user attributes or 
something else?
