/**
 * Represents a binary name as defined in the Java Language
 * Specification, section 13.1.
 *
 * For example, in
 *
 * 
 *  package org.checkerframework.checker.signature;
 *  public class SignatureChecker {
 *    private class Inner {}
 *  }
 * 
 *
 * the binary names for the two types are org.checkerframework.checker.signature.SignatureChecker
 * and org.checkerframework.checker.signature.SignatureChecker$Inner.
 *
 * Binary names and {@linkplain InternalForm internal form} only differ by the use of '.' vs. '/'
 * as package separator.
 *
 * The binary name should not be confused with the {@linkplain InternalForm internal form}, which
 * is a variant of the binary name that actually appears in the class file.
