Description
It would be great if there's a way to conditionally assign attributes to a variable. This would be pretty nice for verifying checksums included in some file formats, where the pattern language can verify the checksum for the data chunks if the algorithm is known, and dynamically rename the variable to something like CRC(verified) and CRC(unverified) depending on the result. Currently there does not seem to be a way to implement this if the variable is a part of a struct.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the pattern-language handling for attributes, variables, and structs, then examine how checksum verification is represented. Done should include a defined conditional-assignment mechanism that supports struct members and distinguishes verified from unverified results.
