I would perhaps use "as_string" and "as_address" rather than just
"string" and "address". At least for "address", it could be
interpreted by some as returning the address (pointer) of the
attribute object. The "as_" prefix makes me naturally read it as
"interpret this attribute as a string", "interpret this attribute as
an address".
Not a big deal though, I'm also fine with the patch as-is.
