The set of declared annotations; it may be empty.
Returns true if these annotations are visible at runtime.
Returns the unique ID that identifies this kind of attribute (Signature, LineNumberTable,...)
Returns the unique ID that identifies this kind of attribute (Signature, LineNumberTable,...)

(attribute.id : @scala.annotation.switch) match { case Signature.Id => ... }
The unique ids are manually associated with the attributes. The attributes use the following IDs:
The runtime (in)visible annotations of a class, method, or field.
