Since `@_marker` isn't (I believe) intended for use in _user_ code, I think the situation is somewhat different. Implicit in the "underscored language features may be removed at any time" policy is that we _won't_ break the source compatibility promise, so to the extent that any language/standard library features depend on a given attribute, a suitable replacement would have to be developed.
