 * An assembly represents a collection of types. Typically, one assembly is defined per library or application.

 * used to obtain a handle to a specific type assembly using the compile-time assembly symbol.

 *          //print information for all assemblies except kApiLib
 *          for (i = 0; i < kArrayList_Count(assemblyList); ++i)
