/**
 * This is the common base class of all Java language record classes.
 *
 * <p>More information about records, including descriptions of the
 * implicitly declared methods synthesized by the compiler, can be
 * found in section 8.10 of
 * <cite>The Java Language Specification</cite>.
 *
 * <p>A <em>record class</em> is a shallowly immutable, transparent carrier for
 * a fixed set of values, called the <em>record components</em>.  The Java
 * language provides concise syntax for declaring record classes, whereby the
 * record components are declared in the record header.  The list of record
 * components declared in the record header form the <em>record descriptor</em>.
 *
 * <p>A record class has the following mandated members: a <em>canonical
 * constructor</em>, which must provide at least as much access as the record
 * class and whose descriptor is the same as the record descriptor;
 * a private final field corresponding to each component, whose name and
 * type are the same as that of the component; a public accessor method
 * corresponding to each component, whose name and return type are the same as
 * that of the component.  If not explicitly declared in the body of the record,
 * implicit implementations for these members are provided.
 *
 * <p>The implicit declaration of the canonical constructor has the same accessibility
 * as the record class and initializes the component fields from the corresponding
 * constructor arguments.  The implicit declaration of the accessor methods returns
 * the value of the corresponding component field.  The implicit declaration of the
 * {@link Object#equals(Object)}, {@link Object#hashCode()}, and {@link Object#toString()}
 * methods are derived from all of the component fields.
 *
 * <p>The primary reasons to provide an explicit declaration for the
 * canonical constructor or accessor methods are to validate constructor
 * arguments, perform defensive copies on mutable components, or normalize groups
 * of components (such as reducing a rational number to lowest terms.)
 *
 * <p>For all record classes, the following invariant must hold: if a record R's
 * components are {@code c1, c2, ... cn}, then if a record instance is copied
 * as follows:
 * <pre>
 *     R copy = new R(r.c1(), r.c2(), ..., r.cn());
 * </pre>
 * then it must be the case that {@code r.equals(copy)}.
 *
 * @apiNote
 * A record class that {@code implements} {@link java.io.Serializable} is said
 * to be a <i>serializable record</i>. Serializable records are serialized and
 * deserialized differently than ordinary serializable objects. During
 * deserialization the record's canonical constructor is invoked to construct
 * the record object. Certain serialization-related methods, such as readObject
 * and writeObject, are ignored for serializable records. More information about
 * serializable records can be found in the
 * <a href="{@docRoot}/../specs/serialization/serial-arch.html#serialization-of-records">
 * <cite>Java Object Serialization Specification,</cite> Section 1.13,
 * "Serialization of Records"</a>.
 *
 * @apiNote
 * A record class structure can be obtained at runtime via reflection.
 * See {@link Class#isRecord()} and {@link Class#getRecordComponents()} for more details.

     * a record instance is "copied" by passing the result of the record component
     * accessor methods to the canonical constructor, as follows:
     * <pre>
     *     R copy = new R(r.c1(), r.c2(), ..., r.cn());

     * as this record, and each component of this record is equal to
     * the corresponding component of the argument; otherwise, {@code
     * false} is returned. Equality of a component {@code c} is
     * determined as follows:
     * <ul>
     *
     * <li> If the component is of a reference type, the component is
     * considered equal if and only if {@link
     * java.util.Objects#equals(Object,Object)
     * Objects.equals(this.c, r.c)} would return {@code true}.
     *
     * <li> If the component is of a primitive type, using the
     * corresponding primitive wrapper class {@code PW} (the
     * corresponding wrapper class for {@code int} is {@code
     * java.lang.Integer}, and so on), the component is considered
     * equal if and only if {@code
     * PW.compare(this.c, r.c)} would return {@code 0}.
     *
     * </ul>
     *
     * Note that these rules imply that {@linkplain
     * Double##repEquivalence representation equivalence} is used for
     * the equality comparison of both primitive floating-point values
     * and wrapped floating-point values.
     *
     * <p>Apart from the semantics described above, the precise algorithm
     * used in the implicitly provided implementation is unspecified
     * and is subject to change. The implementation may or may not use
     * calls to the particular methods listed, and may or may not
     * perform comparisons in the order of component declaration.
