+This module, when inherited by a package, allows that package's class
+to define attribute handler subroutines for specific attributes.
+Variables and subroutines subsequently defined in that package,
+or in packages derived from that package may be given attributes
+with the same names as the attribute handler subroutines, which will
+then be called in one of the compilation phases (i.e. in a BEGIN,
+CHECK, INIT, or END block).
