/**
 * 
 * Checks that long constants are defined with an upper ell. That is {@code 'L'}
 * and not {@code 'l'}. This is in accordance with the Java Language Specification,

 * 
 * 
 * Rationale: The lower-case ell {@code 'l'} looks a lot like {@code 1}.
 * 
 * 
 * To configure the check:
 * 
 *  * <module name="UpperEll"/>
