Attributes offer the ability to add structured, machine-readable metadata
information on declarations in code: Classes, methods, functions,
parameters, properties and class constants can be the target of an attribute.
The metadata defined by attributes can then be inspected at runtime using the
<link linkend="book.reflection">Reflection APIs</link>.
Attributes could therefore be thought of as a configuration language
embedded directly into code.
