It actually can be a problem. In .NET land, there are many attributes across

Perhaps a better scheme is:

  enum foo = 3;

  ...

  @attr(foo) int x;

That way, foo will follow all the usual rules.

What about:

struct editor
{
  this(string name, EditType, Colour = Colour.Default, string description = null)
  {
    //...
  }

  blah blah blah
}

@attr(editor("thing",...blah...))

I don't see the advantage over:
@editor(...)

?
