@_transparent is only meant for use by the standard library and overlays. However, I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have about this attribute or its implementation, however you’ll need to be more specific. Which parts of TransparentAttr.rst are unclear? Note that the document is somewhat outdated but still largely accurate (some of the individual problems listed at the end have since been fixed, but the overall issues remain).
