I was wondering two things: 1) does MSVC support `[[]]` attributes in C++ modes earlier than C++11 (moot, there is no C++ earlier than 14 for MSVC) and 2) does MSVC support `[[msvc::constexpr]]` in C++ modes earlier than C++11 (also moot). If the answer to both of those questions was "yes", then I'd understand why this attribute exists (it would be a conforming extension in those language modes, where they could not expose `constexpr` as a keyword). Now I'm wondering why the attribute exists at all. If it's functionally equivalent to `constexpr` as a keyword, what are the use cases for the attribute?
