At a high level, I'm not thrilled with the name of the attribute. I'd
really like to have a common prefix, or some other structured naming
scheme. However, I see that this matches the pattern of the thread_safety
attributes, which in turn match GCC attributes. Since this is the GCC
attribute syntax, that makes sense.

For future reference, I'm hoping we can start enabling the use of C++11
attributes in the not-too-distant future with Clang, and at that point
we'll want to have a namespace for any address safety (or related)
attributes. Might be good to think about what those should look like.

The patch looks good with one exception: please add a template function and
make sure that the instantiations pick up the attribute. I'm always a touch
paranoid about the attribute/template interactions, although they're much
better now than they were and everything should Just Work. ;] Feel free to
commit if the template test cases work. =]
