Custom attribute that, when applied to a target declaration, causes PostSharp to emit a warning if the declaration
is being referenced from classes that are not derived from the target class. This constraint is similar to the
C# keyword protected and should be used only when the target declaration must be made public or internal
for non-architectural reasons.
