I was always under the impression that the clear statement in the Reference Manual that at signs are invalid everywhere (except in comments and strings) was a clear signal of an intention to keep those symbols for other valid purposes.
I've only ever regarded that as a statement about the status quo, not any kind of promise about the future.
But maybe it would be a good idea to explicitly reserve some character (perhaps only at the beginning of a line).
You mean like # ? :) -bob
