I was hoping that'd be acceptable in something as deep and mysterious
as the autohandler, which feels like an internal itself.

Would you accept a patch to RT::Record which adds
AccessibleAttributes(), a function which consolidates the
attribute-finding logic in _BuildTableAttributes() and isn't an
internal? I'll throw in refactoring _BuildTableAttributes() for free
(and reduce it to one "foreach my $attr ...", even =) and rebase that
autohandler work on $UserObj->AccessibleAttributes() instead.

As to readability, I'm wide open to feedback. =]

Cheers!

p.s. the previous patch also had a typo, calling for "$valid_attr"
instead of "$valid_attrs". Sorry. =\
