Example:

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class)]
public class MyAttribute : Attribute
{
  public MyAttribute()
  {
    Console.WriteLine("I was defined on the {0} class", ????);
  }
}

[MyAttribute]
public class MyClass
{
}

Can I fill in the "????" to answer this question? Do I have to iterate over every type in the list of known assemblies to do it? Or is there a shorter way?
