A reference to a type (which may be present within another assembly).
For example, if you compile the code:
Console.WriteLine();
the IL will be:
call void class [mscorlib]System.Console::WriteLine()
which in Mono.Cecil will be a MethodReference to
System.Console.WriteLine(), and MethodReference.DeclaringType will be a
TypeReference to System.Console.
> ExternType, Override,
In this class:
class Demo {
public override string ToString() {return "demo";}
}
The virtual method System.Object.ToString() is overridden. All
overridden methods are present within an Overrides table for a type.

A type declared within another type, e.g.:
class List<T> {
public struct Enumerator {}
}
List<T>.Enumerator is a nested type.

When you use the [DllImport] attribute on a method.

Many System.Security attributes aren't saved as normal custom attributes
in IL, but instead are stored "specially". Thus, there is a specific
table to store these "attributes".
(i.e. they only look like custom attributes within C# source, much like
[Serializable], but they're not really custom attributes.)
> and CustomAttribute
Used to store custom attributes:
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.All)]
class FooAttribute : Attribute {
public FooAttribute(string foo) {}
}
[Foo ("this is a custom attribute!")]
class Bar {}
> and MarshalSpec
Used for custom marshaling. Usually used only for P/Invoke marshaling.
