Hi David,=0A=

=0A=
I'd agree that it's implementable and works with the tokenizer.=0A=
=0A=
My main objection is the verbosity, which is the reason I assume many other=
 languages have fairly short/distinct attribute syntax.=0A=
=0A=
```=0A=
// Assume Unused tells IDEs/analyzers/linters not to warn about unused para=
meters,=0A=
// and Override warns about a method not being an override=0A=
=0A=
using attribute(Override)=0A=
public function apiMethod(=0A=
    using attribute(Unused)=0A=
    array $params,=0A=
    using attribute(Unused)=0A=
    bool $featureEnabled,=0A=
    using attribute(Unused)=0A=
    array $options,=0A=
) {...}=0A=
```=0A=
