* A union representing all channel types that implement {@link net.dv8tion.jda.api.entities.channel.attribute.IPermissionContainer}.

This class extends {@link net.dv8tion.jda.api.entities.channel.attribute.IPermissionContainer} and primarily acts as a discovery tool for
* developers to discover some common interfaces that a {@link net.dv8tion.jda.api.entities.channel.attribute.IPermissionContainer} could be cast to.

*
This interface represents the follow concrete channel types:
*
* - {@link TextChannel}
* - {@link NewsChannel}
* - {@link VoiceChannel}
* - {@link StageChannel}
* - {@link ForumChannel}
* - {@link Category}
