+C<Attribute::Handlers> allows a class to define attribute handlers.
+
+    package MyPack;
+    use Attribute::Handlers;
+    sub Wolf :ATTR(SCALAR) { print "howl!\n" }
+
+    # later, in some package using or inheriting from MyPack...
+
+    my MyPack $Fluffy : Wolf; # the attribute handler Wolf will be called
+
+Both variables and routines can have attribute handlers.  Handlers can
+be specific to type (SCALAR, ARRAY, HASH, or CODE), or specific to the
+exact compilation phase (BEGIN, CHECK, INIT, or END).
