* @brief Defines #RUBY3_ATTR_NOALIAS.
*
* ### Q&A ###
*
* - Q: There are seemingly similar attributes named #RUBY3_ATTR_CONST,
* #RUBY3_ATTR_PURE, and #RUBY3_ATTR_NOALIAS. What are the difference?
*
* - A: Allowed operations are different.
*
* - #RUBY3_ATTR_CONST ... Functions attributed by this are not allowed to
* read/write _any_ pointers at all (there are exceptional situations
* when reading a pointer is possible but forget that; they are too
* exceptional to be useful). Just remember that everything pointer-
* related are NG.
*
* - #RUBY3_ATTR_PURE ... Functions attributed by this can read any
* nonvolatile pointers, but no writes are allowed at all. The ability
* to read _any_ nonvolatile pointers makes it possible to mark ::VALUE-
* taking functions as being pure, as long as they are read-only.
*
* - #RUBY3_ATTR_NOALIAS ... Can both read/write, but only through pointers
* passed to the function as parameters. This is a typical situation
* when you create a C++ non-static member function which only concerns
* `this`. No global variables are allowed to read/write. So this is
* not a super-set of being pure. If you want to read something, that
* has to be passed to the function as a pointer. ::VALUE -taking
* functions thus cannot be attributed as such.
