Very nice.  Thank you Miguel.

trivia:

I believe the alphabetic sorting of the required attributes
makes reading by use a bit difficult and I would prefer that
various required attributes are sorted by logical use instead.

ie:  keep noinline and __always_inline together,
     keep __used and __always_unused together,
     etc...
