I am definitely opposed to printing all attributes for functions.

I'm not excited about printing attributes for types, although I agree
that it matters less there.  It seems wrong to print attributes like
"unused" or "may_alias" for types.  Note that "may_alias" is used in
<mmintrin.h> and friends.
