Wh@t is th@t?
summary
Shows how to pull the Swift compiler source, run find + grep to locate attribute declarations, and read the docs and tests to confirm behavior. Reports roughly about 50 documented attributes and about a hundred total declarations in the attribute definitions file. Demonstrates the concrete command used, points to docs/, tests/, and the ASP adder def attribute file, and verifies the search succeeds though it can be slow on a local checkout.
