Provide a simple key/value pair for describing properties.
Used to store descriptive information.
In GEDCOM only used for Persons:
Individual attributes should describe situations that may be permanent or
temporary (start at some date, end at some date, etc.), may be associated
to a place (a position held, residence, etc.) or may not (eye colour,
height, caste, profession, etc.). They may have sources and notes and
media.
Compare with :class:`~gen.lib.event.Event`
GRAMPS at the moment does not support this GEDCOM Attribute structure.
