Surely, prohibiting non-functioning attributes is good when it's obvious 
that they do nothing.

BUT... there is an issue:

static: __gshared int x;

Should this be an error? I believe inside the compiler, the reason 
unused attributes are ignored are because this is handled the same way, 
and making it error would make all of them error. But that's kind of a 
guess.
