Re: The @@ is terrible, are we sure we're OK with it?

Doesn't it make the most sense to re-vote the syntax? I'd consider the previous vote to be invalid given the parsing issues that weren't listed in the RFC. A re-vote seems the most fair: if the majority still prefers @@, then so be it. Otherwise the syntax changes once again, before feature-freeze. I suppose the RMs should have a final say in this descision?
