/**
 * Instances of the class {@code Class} represent classes and
 * interfaces in a running Java application. An enum class and a record
 * class are kinds of class; an annotation interface is a kind of
 * interface. Every array also belongs to a class that is reflected as
 * a {@code Class} object that is shared by all arrays with the same
 * element type and number of dimensions.  The primitive Java types
 * ({@code boolean}, {@code byte}, {@code char}, {@code short}, {@code
 * int}, {@code long}, {@code float}, and {@code double}), and the
 * keyword {@code void} are also represented as {@code Class} objects.
 *
 * <p> {@code Class} has no public constructor. Instead a {@code Class}
 * object is constructed automatically by the Java Virtual Machine when
 * a class is derived from the bytes of a {@code class} file through
 * the invocation of one of the following methods:
 * <ul>
 * <li> {@link ClassLoader#defineClass(String, byte[], int, int) ClassLoader::defineClass}
 * <li> {@link java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup#defineClass(byte[])
 *      java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup::defineClass}
 * <li> {@link java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup#defineHiddenClass(byte[], boolean, MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption...)
 *      java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup::defineHiddenClass}
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p> The methods of class {@code Class} expose many characteristics of a
 * class or interface. Most characteristics are derived from the {@code class}
 * file that the class loader passed to the Java Virtual Machine or
 * from the {@code class} file passed to {@code Lookup::defineClass}
 * or {@code Lookup::defineHiddenClass}.
 * A few characteristics are determined by the class loading environment
 * at run time, such as the module returned by {@link #getModule() getModule()}.
 *
 * <p> The following example uses a {@code Class} object to print the
 * class name of an object:
 *
 * {@snippet lang="java" :
 * void printClassName(Object obj) {
 *     System.out.println("The class of " + obj +
 *                        " is " + obj.getClass().getName());
 * }}
 *
 * It is also possible to get the {@code Class} object for a named
 * class or interface (or for {@code void}) using a <i>class literal</i>.
 * For example:
 *
 * {@snippet lang="java" :
 * System.out.println("The name of class Foo is: "+Foo.class.getName());
 * }
 *
 * <p> Some methods of class {@code Class} expose whether the declaration of
 * a class or interface in Java source code was <em>enclosed</em> within
 * another declaration. Other methods describe how a class or interface
 * is situated in a <em>nest</em>. A <a id="nest">nest</a> is a set of
 * classes and interfaces, in the same run-time package, that
 * allow mutual access to their {@code private} members.
 * The classes and interfaces are known as <em>nestmates</em>.
 * One nestmate acts as the
 * <em>nest host</em>, and enumerates the other nestmates which
 * belong to the nest; each of them in turn records it as the nest host.
 * The classes and interfaces which belong to a nest, including its host, are
 * determined when
 * {@code class} files are generated, for example, a Java compiler
 * will typically record a top-level class as the host of a nest where the
 * other members are the classes and interfaces whose declarations are
 * enclosed within the top-level class declaration.
 *
 * <h2><a id=hiddenClasses>Hidden Classes</a></h2>
 * A class or interface created by the invocation of
 * {@link java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup#defineHiddenClass(byte[], boolean, MethodHandles.Lookup.ClassOption...)
 * Lookup::defineHiddenClass} is a {@linkplain Class#isHidden() <em>hidden</em>}
 * class or interface.
 * All kinds of class, including enum classes and record classes, may be
 * hidden classes; all kinds of interface, including annotation interfaces,
 * may be hidden interfaces.
 *
 * The {@linkplain #getName() name of a hidden class or interface} is
 * not a {@linkplain ClassLoader##binary-name binary name},
 * which means the following:
 * <ul>
 * <li>A hidden class or interface cannot be referenced by the constant pools
 *     of other classes and interfaces.
 * <li>A hidden class or interface cannot be described in
 *     {@linkplain java.lang.constant.ConstantDesc <em>nominal form</em>} by
 *     {@link #describeConstable() Class::describeConstable},
 *     {@link ClassDesc#of(String) ClassDesc::of}, or
 *     {@link ClassDesc#ofDescriptor(String) ClassDesc::ofDescriptor}.
 * <li>A hidden class or interface cannot be discovered by {@link #forName Class::forName}
 *     or {@link ClassLoader#loadClass(String, boolean) ClassLoader::loadClass}.
 * </ul>
 *
 * A hidden class or interface is never an array class, but may be
 * the element type of an array. In all other respects, the fact that
 * a class or interface is hidden has no bearing on the characteristics
 * exposed by the methods of class {@code Class}.
 *
 * <h2><a id=implicitClasses>Implicitly Declared Classes</a></h2>
 *
 * Conventionally, a Java compiler, starting from a source file for an
 * implicitly declared class, say {@code HelloWorld.java}, creates a
 * similarly-named {@code class} file, {@code HelloWorld.class}, where
 * the class stored in that {@code class} file is named {@code
 * "HelloWorld"}, matching the base names of the source and {@code
 * class} files.
 *
 * For the {@code Class} object of an implicitly declared class {@code
 * HelloWorld}, the methods to get the {@linkplain #getName name} and
 * {@linkplain #getTypeName type name} return results
 * equal to {@code "HelloWorld"}. The {@linkplain #getSimpleName
 * simple name} of such an implicitly declared class is {@code "HelloWorld"} and
 * the {@linkplain #getCanonicalName canonical name} is {@code "HelloWorld"}.
 *
 * @param <T> the type of the class modeled by this {@code Class}
 * object.  For example, the type of {@code String.class} is {@code
 * Class<String>}.  Use {@code Class<?>} if the class being modeled is
 * unknown.
 *
 * @see     java.lang.ClassLoader#defineClass(byte[], int, int)
 * @since   1.0
 * @jls 15.8.2 Class Literals
