/**
 * A <a href="package-summary.html#nominal">nominal descriptor</a> for a loadable
 * constant value, as defined in JVMS {@jvms 4.4}. Such a descriptor can be resolved via
 * {@link ConstantDesc#resolveConstantDesc(MethodHandles.Lookup)} to yield the
 * constant value itself.
 *
 * <p>Class names in a nominal descriptor, like class names in the constant pool
 * of a classfile, must be interpreted with respect to a particular class
 * loader, which is not part of the nominal descriptor.
 *
 * <p>Static constants that are expressible natively in the constant pool ({@link String},
 * {@link Integer}, {@link Long}, {@link Float}, and {@link Double}) implement
 * {@link ConstantDesc}, and serve as nominal descriptors for themselves.
 * Native linkable constants ({@link Class}, {@link MethodType}, and
 * {@link MethodHandle}) have counterpart {@linkplain ConstantDesc} types:
 * {@link ClassDesc}, {@link MethodTypeDesc}, and {@link MethodHandleDesc}.
 * Other constants are represented by subtypes of {@link DynamicConstantDesc}.
 *
 * <p>APIs that perform generation or parsing of bytecode are encouraged to use
 * {@linkplain ConstantDesc} to describe the operand of an {@code ldc} instruction
 * (including dynamic constants), the static bootstrap arguments of
 * dynamic constants and {@code invokedynamic} instructions, and other
 * bytecodes or classfile structures that make use of the constant pool.
 *
 * <p>Constants describing various common constants (such as {@link ClassDesc}
 * instances for platform types) can be found in {@link ConstantDescs}.
 *
 * <p>Implementations of {@linkplain ConstantDesc} should be immutable
 * and their behavior should not rely on object identity.
 *
 * <p>Non-platform classes should not implement {@linkplain ConstantDesc} directly.
 * Instead, they should extend {@link DynamicConstantDesc} (as {@link EnumDesc}
 * and {@link VarHandleDesc} do.)
 *
 * <p>Nominal descriptors should be compared using the
 * {@link Object#equals(Object)} method. There is no guarantee that any
 * particular entity will always be represented by the same descriptor instance.
