Ah.  So this is the same compiler behavior that results in C++ overloading not
being able to tell the difference between a RAM pointer and a progmem pointer;
the attribute ends up only associated with the variable and not with the types
at all...  Consistency is good, and I think I can see how having too many type
modifiers would end up being dangerous.  Thanks for the explanations!
