 I'm somewhat reluctant to apply this part. Bro is already inconsistent
 with what happens with attributes on assigment, and I don't want to make
 it worse. Here, the attribute would now be transfered from the target to
 the value being assigned, which doesn't sound right (it makes sense in
 terms of what one wants to achieve, but still…) Can we leave this part out
 and use the enable_raw_output() function instead?

 Otherwise, nice patch!
