Yes, but they actually only affect the *functions* belonging to the 
class, not the variables. A class is not a variable.

It's inspired from the status quo - there are no @attributes that apply 
to variables. __gshared uses underscores instead of @attribute syntax. 
If we want to introduce a new attribute that applies to both functions 
and variables, use __attribute.
