In the thread which appeared on github someone suggested 
'@infer', which I altered to '@auto', which gets all the 
attributes automatically, and creates the '.di' with the full 
attributes (which might actually be problematic if they change 
too often and force compilation too many times). I'm starting to 
think it might actually be quite valuable to have this annotation 
available to the programmer. What do you think?
