s/ture/true/

Actually, change the whole comment:
// Return whether NAME is the name of an attributes section.

But note that there is no function to correspond to this declaration.
Is that function coming later?

Please describe the return and parameter values in the comments for
these functions.  I can't guess what they mean.

s/override/overridden/


This is OK with those changes.

Thanks.
