This class computes the main data structure for the doclet's operations. Essentially, the implementation encapsulating the javax.lang.model's view of what can be documented about a type element's members.

The general operations are as follows:

Members: these are the members from j.l.m's view but are structured along the kinds of this class.

Extra Members: these are members enclosed in an undocumented package-private type element, and may not be linkable (or documented), however, the members of such a type element may be documented, as if declared in the subtype, only if the enclosing type is not being documented by a filter such as -public, -protected, etc.

Visible Members: these are the members that are "visible" and available and should be documented, in a type element.

The basic rule for computation: when considering a type element, besides its immediate direct types and interfaces, the computation should not expand to any other type in the inheritance hierarchy.

This table generates all the data structures it needs for each type, as its own view, and will present some form of this to the doclet as and when required to.
