As a side note, did you notice how complicated and confusing all the
methods for manipulating attributes are? (The answer is _very_).

They are all very similarly named, and behave subtly differently. I
expect there is some cleanup possible.

In spite working with the code lots, I have found the best reference for
this later hacking I've been doing (on OBJECT structures) has been your
data-structure diagram.

Many many thanks for producing that!

I'll have to do an updated version if / when I push these changes which
alter them.
