I think that verbosity is not a problem if compared to "strange mixed
symbols", mainly to new users. Google it is a bit hard "what means double
at". And "using attribute" is very clear.
Anyway, I think that is valid we use it for now until we have a good symbol
arrangement, and on future we could have the "verbose syntax" ("using
attribute()") and shortened syntax (to be decided, but like "#[...]").
Atenciosamente,
