* Represents a Schema particle definition.

* The content model of a complex type is a tree of particles. Each
* particle is either an {@link #ALL}, {@link #CHOICE}, {@link #SEQUENCE},
* {@link #ELEMENT}, or {@link #WILDCARD}.
* All, choice and sequence particles are groups that can have child
* particles; elements and wildcards are always leaves of the particle tree.
*
* The tree of particles available on a schema type is minimized, that
* is, it already has removed "pointless" particles such as empty
* sequences, nonrepeating sequences with only one item, and so on.
* (Pointless particles
* are defined precisely in the XML Schema specification.)
