Sure, it's not, but is there any reason why it *can't* be available as
an attribute?

A few random ideas:
* A utility that takes an assembly using the attribute, removes the
attribute and adds the relevant IL.
* This is the class libraries, so presumably they only need to run on
the mono runtime. I believe you could make the runtime recognize the
attribute.

I don't know how useful those ideas are, but I believe they're both plausible.
