Summary	0015332: Feature request for giving CMake the ability to define C++11 generic attributes.
Description	The proposed feature would allow developers to define generic attributes so that a CMake script may be ran at build time when they are encountered. A possible syntax could be similar to functions. Additionally with variables defined within function-like scope that hold information on the attribute. attribute(<name> [arg1 [arg2 [arg3 ...]]]) ${ATTRIBUTE_TYPE} # could be "class", "function", "namespace", etc. endattribute(<name>) Compilers such as gcc give the ability to write plugins that could be used to implement this feature. Other compilers may have other ways to accomplish this, but if a compiler doesn't there could be a fail safe that would require CMake to parse the code itself (not ideal.) I'm not sure if such a feature falls in CMake's scope of responsibilities, but I thought I'd get some feedback.
