Neither is 'repr' - they're both just identifiers in an attribute. #[attr("string literal")] is newer and still unstable (as part of the new macro system). The bit array packing is something we've wanted to do for a long while, but it requires an opt-in along the lines of "disallow taking references to any (sub-byte) fields". #[repr(packed)] is the same as the C equivalent, be it attribute or pragma, in that it only removes alignment padding and does nothing to booleans.
