The reason I proposed to call it "gccattribute" is that AFAIK GCC is the
compiler which introduces these and that is how they are referred to
(although I think icc supports a lot of them as well).
I think "attribute" is far to generic; "cattribute" is slightly better
but still these are not standard C.
(In most cases we are better off implementing higher-level support
anyway, like I did with packed structs, where differenct extensions from
more than one compiler is used through #ifdefs. I'm +0 on adding
gccattribute, I just responded to Lisandro's ideas on it.)
