Though this does seem likely, it might be wise to adopt a less
specific name for this attribute now in case other appropriate uses
of this adjustment mechanism later come to light.  If we were to
use a name like :attribute-filters or :attribute-adjusters we'd retain
flexibility for the future even though we might only support
adjusting foreground color initially (or indeed ever).
