Hi internals, I've started voting on "PHP Attributes" RFC. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/attributes In my opinion, "PHP Attributes" might be a smart tool for PHP extension, but it's not going to be the end of the world, if we decided to live with doc-comments only. Thanks. Dmitry.

Thanks for the good work. Regarding naming, I googled "PHP attributes" vs "PHP annotations" and looking at the result, my view is that that Annotation is a better naming then Attributes. Any hope in changing it?

The more I listen to arguments of adepts of existing PHP annotation systems, the more I think, that "PHP attributes" is the right name for this proposal. This feature is not just for PHP annotation systems.

Thats a fair point, so Annotation it's not. Still, when I hear PHP attributes I associate it with class / function attributes. Maybe just a question getting used to the naming. Hm, wonder if PHP directives could have been an option? Regards //Björn
