+ * attr() helper.  For exposition, pretend we support only 2 args, instead of 9.
+ * There are a few cases:
+ *
+ *     attr()
+ *         => attr__(attr_, none, none)
+ *         => attr_                =>
+ *            attr_none            =>
+ *            attr_too_many_none() =>
+ *
+ *     attr(a)
+ *         => attr__(attr_a, none, none)
+ *         => attr_a               => __attribute__((a))
+ *            attr_none            =>
+ *            attr_too_many_none() =>
+ *
+ *     attr(a, b(c))
+ *         => attr__(attr_a, b(c), none, none)
+ *         => attr_a                   => __attribute__((a))
+ *            attr_b(c)                => __attribute__((b(c)))
+ *            attr_too_many_none(none) =>
+ *
+ *     attr(a, b(c), d)
+ *         => attr__(attr_a, b(c), d, none, none)
+ *         => attr_a                      => __attribute__((a))
+ *            attr_b(c)                   => __attribute__((b(c)))
+ *            attr_too_many_d(none, none) => error
+ *
+ * Some attribute names are the same as standard library functions, e.g. printf.
+ * Standard libraries are permitted to define these functions as macros, like
+ *
+ *     #define printf(...) __builtin_printf(__VA_ARGS__)
+ *
+ * The token paste in
+ *
+ *     #define attr(...) attr__(attr_##__VA_ARGS__, none, none)
+ *
+ * is necessary to prevent macro expansion before evaluating attr__().
+ * Otherwise, we could get
+ *
+ *     attr(printf(1, 2))
+ *         => attr__(__builtin_printf(1, 2), none, none)
+ *         => attr____builtin_printf(1, 2)
+ *         => error
