This class is derived from Attribute and declares this class as
`synthetic', i.e., it needs special handling.  The JVM specification
states "A class member that does not appear in the source code must be
marked using a Synthetic attribute."  It may appear in the ClassFile
attribute table, a field_info table or a method_info table.  This class
is intended to be instantiated from the
Attribute.readAttribute() method.
