Description
Input (interface file):
val foo: int
[@@a val bar: string [@@b]]
Output:
[@a [@b] external bar: string = ]
let foo: int;
I believe the output should be:
[@a [@b] let bar: string; ]
let foo: int;
Version: Reason 3.5.0 @ 8ee1ff66

Research direction
Reproduce the conversion using the OCaml interface and expected Reason snippets in the issue, then trace the interface-code conversion entry point that handles attributes and external declarations. Done means the shown input produces a Reason let declaration for bar with both attributes preserved, without the invalid external syntax.
