The names _GL_ATTRIBUTE_PURE and _GL_ATTRIBUTE_CONST seem
gratingly long to me; when reading a function signature they
get in the way of other important information. Also, these
two names use a different naming convention from _GL_UNUSED.
How about following _GL_UNUSED's lead, and renaming
them to _GL_PURE and _GL_CONST? When used in context
the shorter names shouldn't be confusing.
