Blender API: simple script tp cross reference context and data attributes
"""
Simple script to identify what bpy.context and bpy.data attributes have
some crossover. data attributes tend to end with "s", where the context is
singular
eg: bpy.data.objects[i] and bpy.context.object both inherit from:
bpy.types.Object

I wrote this because I wanted to see what bpy attributes cross inherited. I was doing some research for someone else and boom, I came up with this.
