Meh.  Just realized that I forgot to adjust the commentary in nodes.h
about where to put node attributes.

Maybe like

- * Attributes can be attached to a node as a whole (the attribute
- * specification must be at the end of the struct or typedef, just before the
- * semicolon) or to a specific field (must be at the end of the line).  The
+ * Attributes can be attached to a node as a whole (place the attribute
+ * specification on the first line after the struct's opening brace)
+ * or to a specific field (place it at the end of that field's line).  The
  * argument is a comma-separated list of attributes.  Unrecognized attributes
  * cause an error.
