Well, I'm still not convinced that it's the right way to do it...  And it feels a bit off to fix things later if we pretty much know what the correct way is now. It feels a bit unreasonable to ask for a larger redesign since this has been laying for a while at this point, but I think that if we're going to do it we should do it right from the start.

I think that the way to approach it is either to

- Pass a pointer to the `LateParsedAttrList` down through the `Parse*Declarator` functions and `ParseTypeQualifierListOpt` and use it appropriately in `ParseFunctionDeclarator`. That's fairly invasive in all of the callers of the declarator parsing functions, though.
- Store a pointer to the `LateParsedAttrList` in `Declarator` and use it the same way as above. This avoids messing with most of the existing functions, but makes Declarator a bit larger.

I think I would lean towards the latter since it means less fudging around with a whole bunch of unrelated methods. Do @rjmccall or @rsmith have any further opinions on this?
