Description

### Type of issue

Missing information

### Description

The tables in the Remarks section mention an attribute which is not in the BCL nor recognized by Roslyn, `AssemblyLoadAttribute`. This is confusing. That row of the the table mentions `CorAssemblyFlags` which mentions is partially covered by a different attribute, , which doesn't appear to be a pseudo-attribute (it gets emitted into the custom attributes table). also seems to cover these same debuggable flags as well as more, and this attribute _is_ a pseudo-attribute. Should `AssemblyFlagsAttribute` or multiple attributes perhaps be linked, rather than stating `AssemblyLoadAttribute` which does not seem to be a known attribute?
