Now that's something we can agree on :D
We can reduce the syntax added to simply being the attribute tag before
the standard syntax for a function call/class creation.
This means functions can be attributes too (as if that is useful...)!
This is a function being used as an attribute
attribute functionAttr("test")
public function Test() {
...
or a class
attribute new ClassAttr("Test")
public function Test() {
...
Does that lower the syntax bar enough?

What I opposed is the notion that ‘everyone wants some sort of meta attribute
support’. Maybe I read too much into it but I read it as implying we need
something substantial that’s new.
Either way, I’m fine with going in this way as long as the high-level-direction
of not adding a large amount of syntax is clear.

you said that before.
and this is where the discussion started about the alternative syntax and
implementation.
you said, that you see the usefulness, you just don't think that it worths the
complexity and the new syntax.
if that so, then I can't see, why can't we move on from the why is this useful
to the how and what should we implement.
in the end, it would only gets in to the trunk if the prominent coredevs(as
you, Rasmus, etc.) accept it, so I don't know why are you afraid continuing the
discussion about this feature.
