That's not what a paper is for.

The paper is to propose a change to the standard. You may have a draft paper
with an incomplete change, or multiple alternatives to be discussed, and with
that get the creative juices flowing. But that's a side-effect; the main
objective is always to propose a change.

You didn't even attempt at the main goal.

Attributes are not allowed to modify the syntactic correctness of the program.
So if the code doesn't compile today without that attribute, the presence of
the attribute can't make it compile.
