Right now, command-line tools parse package specs by calling ‘specification->package+output’. There are no restrictions on version fields: “8b56efa9387262514daf63151d41c9e111e79567” and “latest” are perfectly valid version fields. Thus, if the syntax above was implemented, we’d introduce ambiguity. Consequently, rather than overload “@”, I believe another syntax would need to be found. Thanks, Ludo’.
