Why stereotypes does not work in "as" statements

Question

e.g.

@startuml

[Some Object]<<Stereotype>> as SO

Iface - SO

@enduml

This works:

@startuml

[Some Object] as SO

Iface - SO<<Stereotype>>

@enduml

Answer 1

 

Actually, it does work like this:

 

@startuml

[Some Object] as SO <<Stereotype>>

Iface - SO

@enduml

 

Maybe we should enable both syntax ?

Comments

Oh, thanks a lot. Is it documented? I'd prefer both to work as for me SO is an alias and Stereotype is property of Object, not it's alias.
