In general, it would be nice to move all compiler attributes to use the `__` syntax, which is independent of compiler vendor, gives us a level of indirection to modify behavior between compilers and is shorter/nicer for users. But it is low priority, so it should go in whenever it causes the least amount of trouble. Cheers, Miguel
