Description
1. The usage of variables in the classfile library closely follows or uses the same 
    names provided in the specification, this makes it easy to correlate between the
    spec and the implementation.

2.  It would also be nice if TypeAnnotations provided a Visitor pattern to go through
     the target_info elements similar to the visitor patterns in Annotations class.
Comments
This is more of an RFE than a bug.
