/**
 * Type is an abstract base class for a family of types which provide
 * conformance checking and name mapping as defined in the "Java to IDL
 * Mapping" OMG specification.  The family is composed of the following
 * fixed set of types:
 * <pre>{@literal
 *

 *         +- PrimitiveType  |                  |
 *         |                 |                  +- NCInterfaceType
 *  Type <-+- CompoundType <-|
 *         |                 |                  +- ValueType
 *         +- ArrayType      |                  |
 *                           +- ClassType <-----+- ImplementationType
 *                                              |
 *                                              +- SpecialClassType

 *                                              +- NCClassType
 *
 * }</pre>
 * PrimitiveType represents a primitive or a void type.
 * <p>
 * CompoundType is an abstract base representing any non-special class
 * or interface type.
 * <p>
 * InterfaceType is an abstract base representing any non-special
 * interface type.
 * <p>
 * RemoteType represents any non-special interface which inherits
 * from java.rmi.Remote.
 * <p>
 * AbstractType represents any non-special interface which does not
 * inherit from java.rmi.Remote, for which all methods throw RemoteException.
 * <p>
 * SpecialInterfaceType represents any one of the following types:
 * <pre>
 *    java.rmi.Remote
 *    java.io.Serializable
 *    java.io.Externalizable
 * </pre>
 * all of which are treated as special cases.
 * <p>
 * NCInterfaceType represents any non-special, non-conforming interface.
 * <p>
 * ClassType is an abstract base representing any non-special class
 * type.
 * <p>
 * ValueType represents any non-special class which does inherit from
 * java.io.Serializable and does not inherit from java.rmi.Remote.
 * <p>
 * ImplementationType represents any non-special class which implements
 * one or more interfaces which inherit from java.rmi.Remote.
 * <p>
 * SpecialClassType represents any one of the following types:
 * <pre>
 *    java.lang.Object
 *    java.lang.String
 *    org.omg.CORBA.Object
 * </pre>
 * all of which are treated as special cases. For all but CORBA.Object,
 * the type must match exactly. For CORBA.Object, the type must either be
 * CORBA.Object or inherit from it.
 * <p>
 * NCClassType represents any non-special, non-conforming class.
 * <p>
 * ArrayType is a wrapper for any of the other types. The getElementType()
 * method can be used to get the array element type.  The getArrayDimension()
 * method can be used to get the array dimension.
 * <p>
 * <i><strong>NOTE:</strong> None of these types is multi-thread-safe</i>
