Lightweight PHP 8 attributes for use with testing plugins.

Why Separate Package?
---------------------

[](#why-separate-package)

This package is a **production** dependency, while testing plugins remain **dev** dependencies.

```
{
    "require": {
        "testflowlabs/test-attributes": "^1.0"
    },
    "require-dev": {
        "testflowlabs/pest-plugin-bdd": "^0.1",
        "testflowlabs/testlink": "^0.1"
    }
}
```

This allows annotating code with attributes without pulling in test runners.
