Remarks
Some code rules are provided by default to match dead types, methods and fields, except those tagged with this attribute.
Typically, this attribute is useful when the code element :
- is only used by tests
- is only used for debugging purposes
- is only used by reflection or remoting, like for some serialization methods
- is a class that contains only constants, hence it is never used in IL code, and it is never seen as used by NDepend
- is a field whose only need is for LayoutKind.Sequential reasons
