I'm wanting some "general" attribute interface which can be applied to
concrete Function object. It seems, that just a set of string-string
pairs should be enough.

Surely, this interface can be used for some specific stuff at first time
(e.g. some attributes like visibility nowadays), which can be further
moved to its own implementation instead of generic one.
