I guess you mean as a quick reminder for those that already know about
the attribute?

That sounds OK for an attribute like this, though generally speaking I
would avoid duplicating the compiler docs. (Hopefully people will
still read the actual docs... :)

By the way, that could be `__access`, i.e. documenting our side, i.e. the macro.

Cheers,
