Dear Committee,</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">As far as I understand, the proposal now allows annotations before classes/instances/types/… to appear either in its own line or before the thing, by making semicolons optional (which would be introduced during parsing if we use a newline).</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I think the proposal is ready for acceptance, if no more problems pop up.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Regards,</div><div dir="ltr">Alejandro</div><div dir="ltr"><br><br>
