We decided to do it like that when I introduced compiler_attributes.h.

Given it is hidden behind a definition, we don't care about which one we
use internally; therefore the idea was to avoid clashes as much as possible
with other names/definitions/etc.

The syntax is supported in the compilers we care about (for docs on
attributes, the best reference is GCC's by the way).

Cheers,
Miguel
