This seems like a case for code generation

I don't understand how this has anything to do with code generation. I understand what composer-attribute-collector is doing, and see no application for it (or something like it) here. Could you explain a bit further?


In your example you show how to write code that does what you want, but also that it is annoying to write by-hand. Thus, generating the code instead of writing it by-hand might be better than a new language feature; and there are many things that would benefit from that.

I understand your point is that preprocessors could solve this problem, and I agree, preprocessors can solve a lot of problems. However, that point seems entirely orthogonal to this discussion.
