Having hangs and crashes since updating to macOS 10.15.4? Me too!

If you've been experiencing strange Finder slowdowns and crashes, it definitely isn't just you. And it's driving me insane.

Closes #111

As a result I'm thinking of deprecating the old file attribute APIs in future releases (will keep them deprecated for a few releases, obviously)
