Ok, that means we should filter-out those bits that we don't want to
write to the module (right?). We've plenty of bits left, more than Dave
Love would want to have added, i hope, so that should not be much of a
concern.

What that table really wants to say is whether or not this attribute
should be passed to the ME. Would it be acceptable to remove these
duplicate strings and just have a bool/char/int that is true if it
should be lowered (in trans-decl, as before)? But now i admit it's just
bikeshedding and we can as well leave it alone for now.. It was just a
though.

thanks,
