    <font size="4"><font face="monospace">Thanks, Adam, this is a good
        point.  All the more reason why we need some better
        documentation on attribute handling, and especially on "special
        attributes"; not only are some attributes (e.g.,
        BootstrapMethodsTable) treated specially, here StackMapTable can
        be treated either way.  <br>
