[fpc-devel] Proof of Concept ARC implementation

[Boian Mitov]

I think that we should start considering using attributes instead of 
introducing new keywords.
This should reduce the compatibility issues due to the new keywords, keep 
the language cleaner IMHO .
There are other benefits of doing it with attributes, but they are subject 
of another discussion ;-) .

With best regards,
Boian Mitov

There are multiple existing ones already see  e.g.
