     It seems reasonable. One thing to investigate is whether this could create
     an ambiguity about what the attribute is attached to. There are system
     functions that have no arguments and therefore don't have parentheses after
     the name. Is there any situation where a postfix attribute on a system
     function could look like a prefix attribute on what follows the function
     call?
     
     The same issue might also arise in SystemVerilog, since it allows Verilog
     functions with no parenthesized argument list.
