/**
 * An interface which Repository class lookup failures are reported to. Some of
 * the analysis classes make use of class hierarchy information. In collecting
 * this information, errors can result because some classes in the hierarchy
 * can't be found; e.g., when the runtime classpath is incomplete. When
 * possible, the analysis classes will be conservative in the event of a lookup
 * failure. However, it is important to report such lookup failures to the user.
 * So, classes that use the Repository should have a callback object to report
 * lookup failures to.
