/** Key-Value paired file attributes.
 * File attributes in GIO consist of a list of key-value pairs.
 *
 * Keys are strings that contain a key namespace and a key name, separated by a colon, e.g. "namespace:keyname". 
 * Namespaces are included to sort key-value pairs by namespaces for relevance. Keys can be retreived using wildcards, 
 * e.g. "standard::*" will return all of the keys in the "standard" namespace.
 *
 * Values are stored within the list in Gio::FileAttributeValue structures. Values can store different types, listed in the enum 
 * Gio::FileAttributeType. Upon creation of a Gio::FileAttributeValue, the type will be set to Gio::FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_INVALID.
 *
 * The list of possible attributes for a filesystem (pointed to by a Gio::File) is availible as a Gio::FileAttributeInfoList. 
 * This list is queryable by key names as indicated earlier.
 *
 * Classes that implement Gio::FileIface will create a Gio::FileAttributeInfoList and install default keys and values for their given file 
 * system, architecture, and other possible implementation details (e.g., on a UNIX system, a file attribute key will be registered for 
 * the user id for a given file).
 *
 * See http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/unstable/gio-GFileAttribute.html for the list of default namespaces and the list of default keys.
