I should clarify something here, since I did some more research after I 
mentioned this on IRC. It turns out that what gcc specifically does is 
allow plugins to register attributes; the dehydra plugin registers a 
functional attribute called `user'. When this plugin is not enabled for 
GCC, it still produces legal code, although it produces a warning.
