It looks we simply cannot modify existing declarations with UDAs.

@(attr) alias foo = bar; // @(attr) is ignored.

alias provides a way to provide an alternate name for a symbol. It wouldn't be an alternate name if it had different attributes. Trying to make such work would have serious semantic consequences.

Hence, no, you cannot use alias to modify the attributes.

The (future) documentation says attributes can be used with declarations. I tried to use one before a module declaration but it didn't work.
