/**
 * The syntax for binary names that appears in a class file, as defined in the JVM
 * Specification, section 4.2. A {@linkplain BinaryName binary name} is conceptually the name
 * for the class or interface in a compiled binary, but the actual representation of that name in
 * its class file is slightly different.
 *
 * Internal form is the same as the binary name, but with periods ({@code .}) replaced by forward
 * slashes ({@code /}).
 *
 * Programmers more often use the binary name, leaving the internal form as a JVM implementation
 * detail.
