Hi,


 I agree here, I think the above, if possible would be best.  In my
mind annotations should proabably be limited in scope to class
declarations and thus only before a class keyword, before a property
or method declaration.

In none of those scopes would [ ] be a parsing issue I believe...

The one case would be at the beginning of a class, but if simply
added something such as:
[:SomeAttribute(xyz,abc),**SomeAttribute2]

It could never be confused with short array syntax and is still brief.


I think when implementing real annotations, then it should be possible to
declare arrays in it. So I think the square brackets don't work.
[Foo([1,2,3])]

Cheers,
Christian

But the colon prefix won't cover this case?

You can, as I've mentioned in my post at the doc-block parser discussion, use a keyword inside the brackets to symbolize annotation, for example

[metadata: Key]
[metadata: MaxLength(10)]
[metadata: Relations(["foo", "bar", "baz"])]
public $id;

Then rather [@Foo([1,2,3])] if it's possible!
