That's definitely been the problem so far.  Function attribute tend to
be very useful even without the syntax, but I think many people agree
that an inline syntax a la docstrings would make the feature even more
useful.  So far, no one's come up with an acceptable syntax.  My
inclination would be to open a new PEP for just the syntax proposal,
referencing PEP 232 for the underlying implementation and access
rules.
