+=head1 NAME
+
+attributes - get/set subroutine or variable attributes
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ sub foo : method ;
+ my ($x,@y,%z) : Bent ;
+ my $s = sub : method { ... };
+
+ use attributes (); # optional, to get subroutine declarations
+ my @attrlist = attributes::get(\&foo);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Subroutine declarations and definitions may optionally have attribute lists
+associated with them. (Variable C<my> declarations also may, but see the
+warning below.) Perl handles these declarations by passing some information
+about the call site and the thing being declared along with the attribute
+list to this module. In particular, first example above is equivalent to
+the following:
+
+ use attributes __PACKAGE__, \&foo, 'method';
+
+The second example in the synopsis does something equivalent to this:
+
+ use attributes __PACKAGE__, \$x, 'Bent';
+ use attributes __PACKAGE__, \@y, 'Bent';
+ use attributes __PACKAGE__, \%z, 'Bent';
+
+Yes, that's three invocations.
+
+B<WARNING>: attribute declarations for variables are an I<experimental>
+feature. The semantics of such declarations could change or be removed
+in future versions. They are present for purposes of experimentation
+with what the semantics ought to be. Do not rely on the current
+implementation of this feature.
+
+There are only a few attributes currently handled by Perl itself (or
+directly by this module, depending on how you look at it.) However,
+package-specific attributes are allowed by an extension mechanism.
+(See L<"Package-specific Attribute Handling"> below.)
+
+The setting of attributes happens at compile time. An attempt to set
+an unrecognized attribute is a fatal error. (The error is trappable, but
+it still stops the compilation within that C<eval>.) Setting an attribute
+with a name that's all lowercase letters that's not a built-in attribute
+(such as "foo")
+will result in a warning with B<-w> or C<use warnings 'reserved'>.
+
+=head2 Built-in Attributes
+
+The following are the built-in attributes for subroutines:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item locked
+
+Setting this attribute is only meaningful when the subroutine or
+method is to be called by multiple threads. When set on a method
+subroutine (i.e., one marked with the B<method> attribute below),
+Perl ensures that any invocation of it implicitly locks its first
+argument before execution. When set on a non-method subroutine,
+Perl ensures that a lock is taken on the subroutine itself before
+execution. The semantics of the lock are exactly those of one
+explicitly taken with the C<lock> operator immediately after the
+subroutine is entered.
+
+=item method
+
+Indicates that the referenced subroutine is a method.
+This has a meaning when taken together with the B<locked> attribute,
+as described there. It also means that a subroutine so marked
+will not trigger the "Ambiguous call resolved as CORE::%s" warning.
+
+=back
+
+There are no built-in attributes for anything other than subroutines.
+
+=head2 Available Subroutines
+
+The following subroutines are available for general use once this module
+has been loaded:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item get
+
+This routine expects a single parameter--a reference to a
+subroutine or variable. It returns a list of attributes, which may be
+empty. If passed invalid arguments, it uses die() (via L<Carp::croak|Carp>)
+to raise a fatal exception. If it can find an appropriate package name
+for a class method lookup, it will include the results from a
+C<FETCH_I<type>_ATTRIBUTES> call in its return list, as described in
+L"Package-specific Attribute Handling"> below.
+Otherwise, only L<built-in attributes|"Built-in Attributes"> will be returned.
+
+=item reftype
+
+This routine expects a single parameter--a reference to a subroutine or
+variable. It returns the built-in type of the referenced variable,
+ignoring any package into which it might have been blessed.
+This can be useful for determining the I<type> value which forms part of
+the method names described in L"Package-specific Attribute Handling"> below.
+
+=back
+
+Note that these routines are I<not> exported. This is primarily because
+the C<use> mechanism which would normally import them is already in use
+by Perl itself to implement the C<sub : attributes> syntax.
+
+=head2 Package-specific Attribute Handling
+
+B<WARNING>: the mechanisms described here are still experimental. Do not
+rely on the current implementation. In particular, there is no provision
+for applying package attributes to 'cloned' copies of subroutines used as
+closures. (See L<perlref/"Making References"> for information on closures.)
+Package-specific attribute handling may change incompatibly in a future
+release.
+
+When an attribute list is present in a declaration, a check is made to see
+whether an attribute 'modify' handler is present in the appropriate package
+(or its @ISA inheritance tree). Similarly, when C<attributes::get> is
+called on a valid reference, a check is made for an appropriate attribute
+'fetch' handler. See L<"EXAMPLES"> to see how the "appropriate package"
+determination works.
+
+The handler names are based on the underlying type of the variable being
+declared or of the reference passed. Because these attributes are
+associated with subroutine or variable declarations, this deliberately
+ignores any possibility of being blessed into some package. Thus, a
+subroutine declaration uses "CODE" as its I<type>, and even a blessed
+hash reference uses "HASH" as its I<type>.
+
+The class methods invoked for modifying and fetching are these:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item FETCH_I<type>_ATTRIBUTES
+
+This method receives a single argument, which is a reference to the
+variable or subroutine for which package-defined attributes are desired.
+The expected return value is a list of associated attributes.
+This list may be empty.
+
+=item MODIFY_I<type>_ATTRIBUTES
+
+This method is called with two fixed arguments, followed by the list of
+attributes from the relevant declaration. The two fixed arguments are
+the relevant package name and a reference to the declared subroutine or
+variable. The expected return value as a list of attributes which were
+not recognized by this handler. Note that this allows for a derived class
+to delegate a call to its base class, and then only examine the attributes
+which the base class didn't already handle for it.
+
+The call to this method is currently made I<during> the processing of the
+declaration. In particular, this means that a subroutine reference will
+probably be for an undefined subroutine, even if this declaration is
+actually part of the definition.
+
+=back
+
+Calling C<attributes::get()> from within the scope of a null package
+declaration C<package ;> for an unblessed variable reference will
+not provide any starting package name for the 'fetch' method lookup.
+Thus, this circumstance will not result in a method call for package-defined
+attributes. A named subroutine knows to which symbol table entry it belongs
+(or originally belonged), and it will use the corresponding package.
+An anonymous subroutine knows the package name into which it was compiled
+(unless it was also compiled with a null package declaration), and so it
+will use that package name.
+
+=head2 Syntax of Attribute Lists
+
+An attribute list is a sequence of attribute specifications, separated by
+whitespace, commas, or both. Each attribute specification is a simple
+name, optionally followed by a parenthesised parameter list.
+If such a parameter list is present, it is scanned past as for the rules
+for the C<q()> operator. (See L<perlop/"Quote and Quote-like Operators">.)
+The parameter list is passed as it was found, however, and not as per C<q()>.
+
+Some examples of syntactically valid attribute lists:
+
+ switch(10,foo(7,3)) , , expensive
+ Ugly('\(") , Bad
+ _5x5
+ locked method
+
+Some examples of syntactically invalid attribute lists (with annotation):
+
+ switch(10,foo() # ()-string not balanced
+ Ugly('(') # ()-string not balanced
+ 5x5 # "5x5" not a valid identifier
+ Y2::north # "Y2::north" not a simple identifier
+ foo + bar # "+" neither a comma nor whitespace
+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+Here are some samples of syntactically valid declarations, with annotation
+as to how they resolve internally into C<use attributes> invocations by
+perl. These examples are primarily useful to see how the "appropriate
+package" is found for the possible method lookups for package-defined
+attributes.
