  Okay, I checked too, and it just doesn't compile if added the way I
expected, trange it's fine for forward declaration, but breaks in
implementations. No big deal :-)
  I just added ATTRIBUTE_SENTINEL to docs/apibuild.py list of
ignored words because I'm sure it would break next time we try to
generate the API.
  Commited and pushed :-)

  thanks !
