Moduleattr
Moduleattr is a metadata facility used to annotate software modules with arbitrary attributes. It provides a structured mechanism to attach information such as version, authors, licensing, dependencies, feature flags, and deprecation notices directly to a module, independent of its executable code. The concept is designed to be language-agnostic and is typically implemented as a descriptor, annotation, or header that tooling, compilers, and runtimes can read.
Attributes are usually key-value pairs and support common data types such as strings, numbers, booleans, and
moduleattr.authors = ["Alice","Bob"]
moduleattr.dependencies = ["libA >=2.0","libB"]
Usage and benefits: Tools and processes can rely on module attributes to verify compatibility, generate API
Relation to other concepts: Module attributes are conceptually related to annotations or metadata blocks in various
