/**
 * \ingroup attribute
 * \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:
 *   -# The simple macros.
 *     - ATTRIBUTE_HELPER_HEADER(type)
 *     - ATTRIBUTE_HELPER_CPP(type)
 *   -# The more complex macros.
 *
 * The simple macros are implemented in terms of the complex
 * macros and should generally be preferred over the complex macros.
 *
 * \note
 * Because these macros generate class and function definitions, it's
 * difficult to document the results directly.  Instead, we use a
 * set of functions in print-introspected-doxygen.cc to generate
 * most of the APi documentation.  When using these macros,
 * please add the required function calls to print-introspected-doxygen.cc
 * so your new API is documented.

/**
 * \ingroup attributehelper
 * \defgroup attributeimpl Attribute Implementation
 *
 * These are the internal implementation functions for the Attribute
 * system.
 *
 * Module code shouldn't need to call these directly.  Instead,
 * see \ref attributehelper.
 *
 * There are three versions of DoMakeAccessorHelperOne:
 *  - With a member variable: DoMakeAccessorHelperOne(U T::*)
 *  - With a class get functor: DoMakeAccessorHelperOne(U(T::*)(void) const)
 *  - With a class set method:  DoMakeAccessorHelperOne(void(T::*)(U))
 *
 * There are two pairs of DoMakeAccessorHelperTwo (four total):
 *  - Taking two arguments, a set method and get functor, in either order,
 *  - With set methods returning \c void or \c bool.
