The latest proposal doesn't indicate whether attribute attachment is done
as "zero or more" or "zero or one". In the BNF which of the following
should be used?
[ attribute_instance ]
or
{ attribute_instance }
I would like to see the latter, with the behavior being that all of the
attributes are attached with the later one in the text having priority,
for the case of "(* attr=1 *) (* attr=2 *)". But, if there are objections
to this, I won't put up much of a fight.
I think it's sad that we aren't providing a solution to the translate_on/off
situation, since that's a very commonly used feature, but agree that it's
awfully short notice to be trying to add a new syntax for it. Perhaps the
synthesis group can specify an extension that describes it.
