Using attribute namespaces without repetition

Context

This paper provides wording for proposal P0028 as approved by Evolution Working Group (P0028R2 [1]). Please, note that paper P0028R2 provides rationale and change log.

Proposed Wording Changes

In 7.6.1/1, modify the production for attribute-specifier as follows:

…
attribute-specifier:
[ [ attribute-using-prefix_opt attribute-list ] ]
alignment-specifier

attribute-using-prefix:
using attribute-namespace :
…

Insert a new paragraph immediately after 7.6.1/1:

If an attribute-specifier contains an attribute-using-prefix the attribute-list following that attribute-using-prefix shall not contain an attribute-scoped-token and every attribute-token in that attribute-list is treated as if its identifier were prefixed with N::, where N is the attribute-namespace specified in the attribute-using-prefix. [ Note: This rule imposes no constraints on how an attribute-using-prefix affects the tokens in an attribute-argument-clause.] [ Example:
[[ using CC: opt(1), debug ]] void f() {} // Same as [[ CC::opt(1), CC::debug ]] void f() {} [[ using CC: opt(1)]][[ CC::debug ]] void g() {} // Okay (same effect as above).[[ using CC: CC::opt(1) ]] void h() {} // error: cannot combine using and scoped attribute token
—end example ]
