So __free is an odd $Attribute as it takes an argument.
I've added it along with the other odd $Attribute __alloc_size
to another variable called $ArgAttribute and $Attribute.

Oddly, I don't understand why perl does not perform
the elimination using

	$foo =~ s/\b$ArgAttribute\b//g;

but does do the elimination using

	$foo =~ s/\b$ArgAttribute//g;

maybe something to do with the closing parenthesis in the match.

So now there is a separate substitution for this in a test.

Comments?
