This attribute allows excluding a member of a class template from being part
of an explicit template instantiation of that class template. This also makes
sure that code using such a member will not take for granted that an external
instantiation exists in another translation unit. The attribute was discussed
on cfe-dev at [1] and is primarily motivated by the removal of always_inline
in libc++ to control what's part of the ABI (see links in [1]).

An example that demonstrates how the attribute behaves would be appreciated. Having some exposition that explains why a user might want to write this attribute themselves would also be good.
