I ask the question because it's novel to add an attribute to Clang that's used 
only by clang-tidy, and I'm wondering who is expected to use that attribute to 
help with this check. Is it expected to be an attribute users use with their 
own custom datatypes and it's not needed for standards-based APIs (because we 
handle those some other way), or something else? As it stands, I sort of feel 
like this is a very heavy approach to solve an edge case -- is there a lot of 
evidence for re-using a moved-from object after reinitializing it?
