I want to reiterate my earlier point:
A PER whose artifact is a markdown file:
* Pure - Indicates a function with no side effects.
* Internal - Indicates a function that should not be used outside this library
is, IMO, unuseful and potentially even counter productive, and I would not
support or participate in it.
A PER whose artifact is a repository with the following in it:
namespace Fig\Attributes;
// Indicates a function with no side effects.
#[Attribute]
class Pure {}
// Indicates a function that should not be used outside this library
#[Attribute]
class Internal {}
I believe would be useful, and I would support it and be interested in joining
it.
(Naturally some attributes will also have parameters, some not, that's a case
by case to figure out later.)
