Is there really value in attributes being applied on the inside? That seems

I thought so too at first but now I find it much more readable in general.
Comments, for example, seem to look better inside the function than in
front. Then I can see the function name and parameters immediately,
which is usually what I want to know first:
fn foo(x: T, y: U) {
/*!
* ...
*/
}
I haven't tried writing other attributes inside much, but I could
imagine a similar principle might apply.
For example:
struct Foo {
#[auto_encode];
#[auto_decode];
#[deriving_eq];
field1: int, field 2: int
}
vs
#[auto_encode]
#[auto_decode]
#[deriving_eq]
struct Foo {
field1: int, field 2: int
}
I always find the latter (which is what we do today) pretty hard to
read, actually, but the former seems pretty easy.
