A suggestion requires a patch, otherwise it's just theoretical.

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.
