Are you sure about this, seems very unlikely ?

There are no attributes where the type name is different from the syntax to
be used in c#. C# does not require the Attribute suffix for attributes, but
it will translate these to their full type names .... Meaning ComVisible
will be translated to ComVisibleAttribute, so the result is the same ...
I've included a build file which will definitely generate the expected
results ...
