                  but there are cases where `attributes.Find(info.checker)`
                  returns a non-null value which still fails the `DoSet()` call.
                  For example, `value` is sometimes a real `PointerValue`
                  containing 0 as the pointed-to address.  Since value
                  is not null (it just contains null) the initial
                  value is not used, the DoSet fails, and we end up
                  here.
 
                  If we were adventurous we might try to fix this deep
                  below DoSet, but there be dragons.
