attr_overridable(name, *aliases) public

There’s a wee trick we pull. Comment blocks can have directives that override the stuff we extract during the parse. So, we have a special class method, attr_overridable, that lets code objects list those directives. Wehn a comment is assigned, we then extract out any matching directives and update our object

      aliases.unshift name
      aliases.each do |directive_name|
        @overridables[directive_name.to_s] = name
