Re: [C++ PATCH] Fix vector_size handling in templates (PR c++/35758)

I'm afraid we have our hands seriously tied by where we accept the vector_size

allow it won't fly, so I don't see how we can easily avoid the complex type
reconstruction.

Yes, attribute syntax/parsing is horrible.

We really want attribute vector to work like a type-specifier, rather than a decl-specifier, so that we would apply it to the type early in grokdeclarator rather than waiting until cp_decl_attributes. I wonder how feasible that change would be.
