Comment (by jrf):

 I fully support this proposal.

 Note for the implementation: the attribute can only be added to individual
 parameters in function declarations, so can not be applied to global or
 function local variables.

 Side-note: we may need to verify that existing tooling, like the
 documentation generation tooling and WordPressCS, are able to deal with
 attributes for function parameters in function declarations. If not, those
 will need to be updated.
