This language model follows a mirror-based design; see + * + *

+ * + * In particular, the model makes a distinction between static + * language constructs, like the {@linkplain javax.lang.model.element + * element} representing {@code java.util.Set}, and the family of + * {@linkplain javax.lang.model.type types} that may be associated + * with an element, like the raw type {@code java.util.Set}, {@code + * java.util.Set}, and {@code java.util.Set}. + * + *
