One problem I see with your suggestion is the conflict in a code like this: <?php declare(strict_types=1); declare(SomeAttr) function foo() {} It would probably require another keyword, someone else suggested "attribute" (conflicts with class Attribute) or "use attribute" (along the lines of "yleld from") or something. In any case, without a patch showing viability we cannot consider it. > > declare( > SomeAttr, > AnotherAttr("Hello world") > ) > function someFunc() { > } > > It's almost identical to #[] or @[], but it looks like PHP and has no BC > breaks.
