+<p>For attributes unknown by BIRD, the user can assign a name (on top level) to
+an attribute by its number. This defined name can be used then to get, set (as a
+bytestring, transitive) or unset the given attribute even though BIRD knows
+nothing about it.
+
+<p>Note that it is not possible to define an attribute with the same number
+as one known by BIRD, therefore use of this statement carries a risk of
+incompatibility with future BIRD versions.
