 * if the attributes are manipulated only through Pango::AttrList::change(), the overlap between properties will meet stricter criteria.
 *
 * Since the Pango::AttrList structure is stored as a linear list, it is not suitable for storing attributes for large amounts of text.
 * In general, you should not use a single Pango::AttrList for more than one paragraph of text.
 *
 * When obtaining an AttrList, you should check that it is valid. For instance, if(attrlist).
