Thanks Michael!

In my understanding (anybody please correct me if I'm wrong) any user of
this function that rely on this header will "inherit" the attribute -
hence, if this function is not used in any other header or statically
inside it's own definition file, it's not necessary.

But I'm glad in submitting a V3 with that if it's better, let me know.
Cheers,
