While it is possible (!!) that some code is already using a double @-operator in a way that would conflict, I'd posit that it is a reasonable BC break in return for a subjectively nicer (for want of a better word) attribute operator. Nikita and Sara shared similar grumblings in unofficial channels [1] [2]. However, there is something to be said for just deciding on *anything* and rolling forward with it.
