 When viewing a single attachment at its permalink, the template hierarchy
 is as follows (using `foo.jpg` as an example).

 1. `image-jpeg.php`
 2. `jpeg.php`
 3. `image.php`
 4. `attachment.php`
 5. `single-attachment-foo.php`
 6. `single-attachment.php`
 7. `single.php`
 8. `singular.php`
 9. `index.php`

 Note that the generic `attachment.php` appears higher in the hierarchy
 than the more specific `single-attachment-foo.php`. This means it's
 impossible to target a specific attachment if an `attachment.php` file is
 in place.
