The Checker Framework enhances Java's type system to
make it more powerful and useful. This lets software developers
detect and prevent errors in their Java programs.
The Checker Framework includes compiler plug-ins ("checkers")
that find bugs or verify their absence. It also permits you to
write your own compiler plug-ins.

/**
* 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.
