 /**
  * Interfaces used to model elements of the Java programming language.
  *
  * The term "element" in this package is used to refer to program
  * elements, the declared entities that make up a program.  Elements
  * include classes, interfaces, methods, constructors, and fields.
  * The interfaces in this package do not model the structure of a
  * program inside a method body; for example there is no
  * representation of a {@code for} loop or {@code try}-{@code finally}
  * block.  However, the interfaces can model some structures only
  * appearing inside method bodies, such as local variables and
  * anonymous classes.
  *
  * <p>When used in the context of annotation processing, an accurate
  * model of the element being represented must be returned.  As this
  * is a language model, the source code provides the fiducial
  * (reference) representation of the construct in question rather than
  * a representation in an executable output like a class file.
  * Executable output may serve as the basis for creating a modeling
  * element.  However, the process of translating source code to
  * executable output may not permit recovering some aspects of the
  * source code representation.  For example, annotations with
  * {@linkplain java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy#SOURCE source}
  * {@linkplain java.lang.annotation.Retention retention} cannot be
  * recovered from class files and class files might not be able to
  * provide source position information.  The {@linkplain
  * javax.lang.model.element.Modifier modifiers} on an element may
  * differ in some cases including
  *
  * <ul>
  * <li> {@code strictfp} on a class or interface
  * <li> {@code final} on a parameter
  * <li> {@code protected}, {@code private}, and {@code static} on classes and interfaces
  * </ul>
  *
  * Additionally, synthetic constructs in a class file, such as
  * accessor methods used in implementing nested classes and bridge
  * methods used in implementing covariant returns, are translation
  * artifacts outside of this model.
  *
  * <p>During annotation processing, operating on incomplete or
  * erroneous programs is necessary; however, there are fewer
  * guarantees about the nature of the resulting model.  If the source
  * code is not syntactically well-formed or has some other
  * irrecoverable error that could not be removed by the generation of
  * new types, a model may or may not be provided as a quality of
  * implementation issue.
  * If a program is syntactically valid but erroneous in some other
  * fashion, any returned model must have no less information than if
  * all the method bodies in the program were replaced by {@code "throw
  * new RuntimeException();"}.  If a program refers to a missing type XYZ,
  * the returned model must contain no less information than if the
  * declaration of type XYZ were assumed to be {@code "class XYZ {}"},
  * {@code "interface XYZ {}"}, {@code "enum XYZ {}"}, or {@code
  * "@interface XYZ {}"}. If a program refers to a missing type {@code
  * XYZ<K1, ... ,Kn>}, the returned model must contain no less
  * information than if the declaration of XYZ were assumed to be
  * {@code "class XYZ<T1, ... ,Tn> {}"} or {@code "interface XYZ<T1,
  * ... ,Tn> {}"}
  *
  * <p> Unless otherwise specified in a particular implementation, the
  * collections returned by methods in this package should be expected
  * to be unmodifiable by the caller and unsafe for concurrent access.
  *
  * <p> Unless otherwise specified, methods in this package will throw
  * a {@code NullPointerException} if given a {@code null} argument.
