+// This extension changes behavior depending on whether the

+// (`LangOpts.ExperimentalLateParseAttributes`) flag is enabled.
+//
+// * If the flag is disabled then the attribute is parsed just like
+//   `LateAttrParseStandard`.

+// Currently this extension extends `LateAttrParseStandard` by allowing:

@rapidsna Maybe I should drop this bit because of the `TODO`?
