Is it true that attributes are still considered experimental?
Does anything use them, and if so, for what?
It looks like the :locked sub attribute has been removed, having
been a pthreads thing not an ithreads thing.
Does :method do anything at all beyond quashing a certain warning?
What's the deal with :lvalue subs? They are still used, right?
What about with my/state/our? All can take them, right?
And there are no builtins/predefined attrs for those, right?
The only reference I can see is the old fields stuff, with
killed pseudohashes.
I seem to recall there being CPAN modules that make use of attributes.
thanks,
