Description

What problem does this feature solve?

I just spent way too long debugging something really weird until I realized I accidentally wrote :v-if instead of v-if.

A warning when wrongly using shorthands like : on "native" vue attributes could prevent this bad experience easily.

What does the proposed API look like?

:v-if="foo"

--> console.warn("You specified v-bind:/ v-on: or a corresponding shorthand on a Vue attribute like v-if or similar. Usually this does not make sense.)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look into the Vue compiler or runtime to add a warning when a shorthand like ':' is used on native directives such as v if, v for, v html, etc. Check the AST parsing phase to detect this pattern and emit a warning message.
