  Parameters:
    `name` - the unique attribute key
    `value` - the attribute value to be attached

### getAttribute

    public Object getAttribute(String name)

  Description copied from interface: `AttributeAccessor`
  Get the value of the attribute identified by `name`. Return `null` if the attribute doesn't exist.

  Specified by:
    `getAttribute` in interface `AttributeAccessor`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the unique attribute key
  Returns:
    the current value of the attribute, if any

### removeAttribute

    public Object removeAttribute(String name)

  Description copied from interface: `AttributeAccessor`
  Remove the attribute identified by `name` and return its value. Return `null` if no attribute under `name` is found.

  Specified by:
    `removeAttribute` in interface `AttributeAccessor`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the unique attribute key
  Returns:
    the last value of the attribute, if any

### hasAttribute

    public boolean hasAttribute(String name)

  Description copied from interface: `AttributeAccessor`
  Return `true` if the attribute identified by `name` exists. Otherwise return `false`.

    `hasAttribute` in interface `AttributeAccessor`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the unique attribute key

### attributeNames

    public String[] attributeNames()

  Description copied from interface: `AttributeAccessor`
  Return the names of all attributes.

  Specified by:
    `attributeNames` in interface `AttributeAccessor`

### copyAttributesFrom

    protected void copyAttributesFrom(AttributeAccessor source)

  Copy the attributes from the supplied AttributeAccessor to this accessor.

  Parameters:
    `source` - the AttributeAccessor to copy from

### equals
