Both versions do _nothing_ with non-gcc compilers. I'm talking about the idea
that a non-gcc compiler will implement the same thing either with different
attribute names, or a different pre-function syntax altogether.

If such a compiler exists, and we care about it, we should do the latter as
it's easier to extend clearly to cover other compilers.

Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids. If it did,
we'd be running around in darkened rooms, popping pills and
