Once GetAttributeBy[Num|Name] was yanked, because it was not referenced
inside the code. It is heavily used in extensions though.

For me it was relatively easy to find the problem, because it was ifdef'd
NOT_USED.
I am not sure if I had found it that easily, if the "old" code would have
only been in cvs.
