Yes you have to create a descendant of TCustomAttribute when you want
to add any attribute to a class. I was curious as to who is
responsible for instantiating that class and when does it get freed.
It gets instantiated when you query with RTTI and you are responsible
for freeing that class.

Here is some more information...
