/**
* Represents the declaration of a class or interface.
* Provides access to information about the type and its members.
* Note that an {@linkplain EnumDeclaration enum} is a kind of class,
* and an {@linkplain AnnotationTypeDeclaration annotation type} is
* a kind of interface.
* <p/>
* <p> <a name="DECL_VS_TYPE"></a>
* While a <tt>TypeDeclaration</tt> represents the <i>declaration</i>
* of a class or interface, a {@link DeclaredType} represents a class
* or interface <i>type</i>, the latter being a use
* (or <i>invocation</i>) of the former.
* The distinction is most apparent with generic types,
* for which a single declaration can define a whole
* family of types. For example, the declaration of
* {@code java.util.Set} corresponds to the parameterized types
* {@code java.util.Set<String>} and {@code java.util.Set<Number>}
* (and many others), and to the raw type {@code java.util.Set}.
* <p/>
* <p> {@link com.sun.mirror.util.DeclarationFilter}
* provides a simple way to select just the items of interest
* when a method returns a collection of declarations.
