Motivation
Fixes #11268.
Context
This should be non-breaking. As a side effect, it makes some duplicate attribute error messages nicer (later occurrences point back to previous occurrences rather than the other way around).
I'm working at the edge of my proficiency with C++ here, so please take extra care to verify that how I'm handling pointers and memory management is sensible, because I'm not confident that I'm doing it right.
