I am trying to do something like the Builder annotation, I am adding a new
inner class to a class with my custom annotation. It is unclear where I
should add it because if I wait to do this in an AST transformation in
SEMANTIC_ANALYSIS phase, any use of this type results in an error in the
resolve phase because it does not exist yet. What is the right way to add a
new class generated (and used later on in code) during compile time to the
module node?
