+Some implementations may, as an extension, accept code such as:
+
+```c
+void f(void) [[attr1, attr2, ..., attrN]];
+void f(void);
+```
+
+where the second declaration inherits the type attributes from the
+first, even if the declarations would otherwise be incompatible.
+
+However, this specification considers such code invalid if the first
+declaration is annotated with an SME keyword attribute which would make
+the declarations incompatible (as above), due to its absence from the
+second declaration.
+
+Thus, e.g. all of the following (otherwise duplicate) declarations are
+ill-formed:
+
+```c
+void f(void) __arm_streaming;
+void f(void); // Ill-formed
+
+void g(void) __arm_streaming_compatible;
+void g(void) {} // Ill-formed
+
+void h(void) __arm_streaming __arm_inout("za");
+void h(void); // Ill-formed
