Who, me? I haven’t say I disagree with anything, I also accept others like to use ALL CAPS keywords so pretty easy going on that subject… I don’t see it as a bug because it doesn’t bothers me 
Was just trying to point out that the ‘fix’ should not be to let annotations everywhere in the code as is the case with comments… where exactly those should be allowed is a thing Laura’s team will decide. Back to your original code, since Progress implementation looks more like Java annotations (not .net attributes) what you want to have implemented doesn’t work in Java either although the error message is more appropriate (type annotations are illegal here). Even typed annotations added in Java 8 can’t be used everywhere like comments, before those were valid only for declarations (class/method/property), type annotations can now be used whenever a ‘type’ is used - new, cast, implements and throw. But that’s it, we can’t just use them in the middle of a if/then/else statement… however, this is not saying Progress can’t implement that if they see fit.
