An AttributeSource contains a list of different {@link AttributeImpl}s,
and methods to add and get them. There can only be a single instance
of an attribute in the same AttributeSource instance. This is ensured
by passing in the actual type of the Attribute (Class<Attribute>) to
the {@link #AddAttribute(Class)}, which then checks if an instance of
that type is already present. If yes, it returns the instance, otherwise
it creates a new instance and returns it.
The AttributeSource..::..AttributeFactory type exposes the following members.
