Someone suggested the following syntax for setting function attributes:
def func(arg, arg): .author = 'Guido van Rossum' .version = 42

I don't really see what this has to do with PEP 318, apart from the fact that it impacts the syntax and compilation of function definitions.
PEP 318 enables this:
def func(arg1, arg2) [attrs(author='Guido van Rossum',
version=42)]:
...which is less pretty, but also less effort.
I also thought the whole 'special syntax for function attributes' discussion was very dead indeed.
Cheers, mwh
