I’m in favour of this; it’s a simple change, but increases consistency between attributes and functions.

While I’d say it’s a fairly minor change, the benefit to consistency is solid for what should be a simple change.

Yes. Consistency and clarity are pretty important to Swift.

Strangely quite a few languages have unique syntax for attributes, but I don’t feel that it’s been a benefit in any of them, so I’d prefer them to match regular code more closely in Swift.

Quick re-reading, but it’s a self-explanatory feature.
