Remarks
Assemblies can contain multiple modules. Within each assembly, the search is performed based on module's position in the module list of that assembly. When a match is found in one module in an assembly, no further modules within that assembly are searched.
Type forwarders are ignored, and not considered part of the assembly where the TypeForwardAttribute is written.
