Description

I was wondering why `_fields_` `AttributeCount` and `Attribute` are prefixed with `__DO_NOT_USE_`?

I have a potential use for setting an attribute on a Credentials Manager entry (to record the encoding used for a password), and was wondering if this `__DO_NOT_USE_` had an back story about what kinds of issues I might be facing in using this feature?
