/**
* A pseudo-instruction which indicates that the specified label corresponds to
* the current position in the {@code Code} attribute. Delivered as a {@link
* CodeElement} during traversal of the elements of a {@link CodeModel}.
* <p>
* This can be used to inspect the target position of labels across {@linkplain
* CodeTransform transformations}, as {@linkplain CodeAttribute#labelToBci bci}
* is not stable.
* <p>
* When passed to a {@link CodeBuilder}, this pseudo-instruction sets the
* specified label to be bound at the current position in the builder.
* <p>
* By design, {@code LabelTarget} cannot be created by users and can only be
* read from a code model. Use {@link CodeBuilder#labelBinding
* CodeBuilder::labelBinding} to bind arbitrary labels to a {@code CodeBuilder}.
* <p>
* For a {@code CodeBuilder cob}, a {@code LabelTarget lt}, these two calls are
* equivalent:
* {@snippet lang=java :
* cob.with(lt); // @link substring="with" target="CodeBuilder#with"
* // @link substring="labelBinding" target="CodeBuilder#labelBinding" :
* cob.labelBinding(lt.label()); // @link regex="label(?=\()" target="#label"
* }
*
* @see Label
* @see CodeBuilder#labelBinding CodeBuilder::labelBinding
