At the Lang.NEXT conference over the last 3 days, I was able to talk to many 
smart people about attributes. But I did find some confusion - are they best 
attached to the variable/function (i.e. "storage class"), or attached to the 
type ("type constructor")? I think the former. Attaching it to the type leads to 
all sorts of semantic issues.

 From your list of uses, it looks like attaching it to the variable or function 
is an apropos solution.
