The main trouble with attributes in this case is that they are applied
to the coderef before the sub is named. This means you're always
looking back to the previously defined sub (and e.g. handling the last
one in a CHECK block) to get a name.
But I think (given what you must already assume WRT runtime) that
attributes are probably as good a way as any.
