/**
 * The AnnotationDefault attribute is a variable length attribute in the
 * attributes table of certain method_info structures, namely those representing
 * elements of annotation types. The AnnotationDefault attribute records the
 * default value for the element represented by the method_info structure. Each
 * method_info structures representing an element of an annotation types may contain
 * at most one AnnotationDefault attribute. The JVM must make this default value
 * available so it can be applied by appropriate reflective APIs.
 * <p>
 * The AnnotationDefault attribute has the following format:
 * <pre>
 *    AnnotationDefault_attribute {
 *      u2 attribute_name_index;
 *      u4 attribute_length;
 *      element_value default_value;
 *    }
 * </pre>
 * The items of the AnnotationDefault structure are as follows:
 * <dl>
 * <dt>attribute_name_index</dt>
 * <dd>The value of the attribute_name_index item must be a valid index into the
 *     constant_pool table. The constant_pool entry at that index must be a
 *     CONSTANT_Utf8_info structure representing the string "AnnotationDefault".</dd>
 * <dt>attribute_length</dt>
 * <dd>The value of the attribute_length item indicates the length of the attribute,
 *     excluding the initial six bytes. The value of the attribute_length item is
 *     thus dependent on the default value.</dd>
 * <dt>default_value</dt>
 * <dd>The default_value item represents the default value of the annotation type
 *     {@link oracle.toplink.libraries.asm.attrs.AnnotationElementValue element} whose default
 *     value is represented by this AnnotationDefault attribute.</dd>
