Correct. The idea was not to have an arbitrary vector of attachments of
each type, as more than one was expected to be an exception. We could
change that expectation and make it easier to use.

I wanted to work on getting that started today. I don't know if I can
finish it before I have to go back to New Orleans, but I'll give it a try.
