sun.reflect.generics.scope.Scope
Imports
java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable
This class is used to provide enclosing scopes for top level classes. We cannot use null to represent such a scope, since the enclosing scope is computed lazily, and so the field storing it is null until it has been computed. Therefore, null is reserved to represent an as-yet-uncomputed scope, and cannot be used for any other kind of scope.
