+I do not think this particular scenario can be solved.  The
+Microsoft.NET reflection runtime is pretty lame in this regard, and
+demands that container types are "closed" before contained types.
+
+In this particular case, if I "close" the type, then the attribute
+will never be applied.
+
+We will need to open a "hole" in our implementation to allow this to
+not happen.  Once that is done, I can probably call recursively the
+definition.
+
+Where does this happen?
