That sounds like a reason to vote No to grouping, which you already did: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/attribute_amendments#group_statement_for_attributes1 > What will you grep for if you want to find all places where the Route attribute is used (but not some other class named Route)? With any syntax, you can't exclude other classes named Route which are also being used as annotations. If you want things to be easy to tell apart, don't call them the same thing. If you specifically want annotations to stand out, name or alias all annotations as "RouteAnnotation" or "ARoute" or something. For that matter, just make a coding standard in your project to never use grouped attributes, or always use fully-qualified names in attributes... Regards, -- Rowan Tommins [IMSoP]
