Both @{} and @@{} would be possible as a future extension of the syntax
and would have no BC break at all, if extending the syntax is something
that would/should happen - just as possible suggestions.
It is likely though that the vast majority of attribute usage will be
quite simple (like the ones we have today with annotations: for routes,
for validation, for ORMs), so having a simple syntax for a feature which
is mostly used in a straightforward way does not seem that crazy.
And about your condescending remark of people trying to add to the
discussion who have not "proven themselves in the PHP source code":
Having a discussion with people who have different viewpoints seems like
a big benefit for any project, because it is impossible to be an expert
at C code, php-src, PHP code, all PHP frameworks, all the PHP libraries,
and all the ways PHP is used today - yet all that can be relevant for
language changes and the actual usage of new features, including the syntax.
