Attributes

[ArnaudBuchholz]

• Create a base class for all attributes (gpf.Attributes.Attribute): a public method (alterPrototype) is used to allow class prototype altering: it receives the prototype, member name as well as the class definition.
• Attributes are stored in the class definition: they are inherited (this implies class definition can be retrieved from the class)
• Adding an attribute can be done 'one the fly' by a dedicated method
• APIs are provided to get attributes for a class definition: a dictionary indexes them per members. Filtering is possible on base class.
