/**
 * \ingroup core
 * \defgroup AttributeHelper Attribute Helper
 *
 * All these macros can be used to generate automatically the code
 * for subclasses of AttributeValue, AttributeAccessor, and, AttributeChecker,
 * which can be used to give attribute powers to a normal class. i.e.,
 * the user class can then effectively be made an attribute.
 *
 * There are two kinds of helper macros:
 *  1) The simple macros.
 *  2) The more complex macros.
 *
 * The simple macros are implemented in terms of the complex
 * macros and should generally be prefered over the complex macros:
 *    - \ref ATTRIBUTE_HELPER_HEADER_1,
 *    - \ref ATTRIBUTE_HELPER_HEADER_2, and,
 *    - \ref ATTRIBUTE_HELPER_CPP,
