	 * automatically destroyed.
	 *
	 * The @attribute string should be formatted with specific keys separated
	 * from namespaces with a double colon. Several "namespace::key" strings may be
	 * concatenated with a single comma (e.g. "standard::type,standard::is-hidden").
	 * The wildcard "*" may be used to match all keys and namespaces, or
	 * "namespace::*" will match all keys in a given namespace.
	 *
	 * ## Examples of file attribute matcher strings and results
	 *
	 * - `"*"`: matches all attributes.
	 * - `"standard::is-hidden"`: matches only the key is-hidden in the
	 * standard namespace.
	 * - `"standard::type,unix::*"`: matches the type key in the standard
	 * namespace and all keys in the unix namespace.
	 *
	 * Params:
	 *     attributes = an attribute string to match.
	 *
	 * Returns: a #GFileAttributeMatcher
