-By default, values are added.  If the

-given, the default is to replace existing values with the new one.
-Note that it is permissible for a given attribute to appear more than
-once (for example, to add more than one value for an attribute).  Also
-note that you can use a trailing `\\' to continue values across lines and
-preserve newlines in the value itself (this is useful for modifying
-QUIPU iattr attributes among others).
-.LP
-.I attr
-should be preceded by a \fB-\fP to remove a value.  The `=' and
