the kind of symbol to which the attribute is applied (either function
or variable) must match the kind of symbol to which the argument refers.

For example, the @var{StrongAlias} macro below makes use of the @code{alias}
and @code{copy} attributes to define an alias named @var{alloc} for function

the same type as the target function. As a result of the @code{copy}
attribute the alias also shares the same attributes as the target.
