+--------------------------
+The `attributes` key shall denote a dictionary of optional attributes containing
+keys with information about the stored matrix and the data it represents.
+Attributes are optional and may be ignored by a compliant parser.
+
+#### number_of_diagonal_elements #### {#number_of_diagonal_elements_attributes}
+`number_of_diagonal_elements` shall contain an integer value corresponding to
+the number of elements on the stored matrix's diagonal.
+
+Note: implementations are highly encouraged to provide the
+`number_of_diagonal_elements` attribute for matrices with a symmetric,
+skew-symmetric, or Hermitian structure.
