It's good. I now understand what the delimiters achieve. While I don't agree with the first point in "Forcing @@ Attributes to end with parenthesis does not solve issues" (in this new syntax I'd ban whitespace) I appreciate the point you are making, and it is sensible for consistency. I feel grep'ability has been played down, as unless @@ MyProject\FooAttr is allowed (which isn't shown in the codeblock), then it's easier to grep for @@.+?Foo and know you have a chance of an accurate match (assuming renaming is not used) than it is with the delimiter syntax. > Sorry to everyone for causing this hazzle. > These things happen. Thank you for taking on-board the feedback and working on the RFC. Peter
