[Python-Dev] Attribute strings?

[Edward K. Ream]

Has anyone suggested the following?

Create a new kind of string, _not_ a docstring, to hold annotations, etc.

"""@annotate whatever""" or even ""@" whatever"""

Pros: Open ended possibilities, might quiet dissent, could be placed before
function or inside it.

Biggest drawback: something that looks like a string will affect generated
code.

thinking-inside-the-string'ly yours,
