  37  * as well as raw types.
  38  *
  39  * <p> While a <tt>TypeDeclaration</tt> represents the <i>declaration</i>
  40  * of a class or interface, a <tt>DeclaredType</tt> represents a class
  41  * or interface <i>type</i>, the latter being a use of the former.
  42  * See {@link TypeDeclaration} for more on this distinction.
  43  *
  44  * <p> A <tt>DeclaredType</tt> may represent a type
  45  * for which details (declaration, supertypes, <i>etc.</i>) are unknown.
  46  * This may be the result of a processing error, such as a missing class file,
  47  * and is indicated by {@link #getDeclaration()} returning <tt>null</tt>.
  48  * Other method invocations on such an unknown type will not, in general,
  49  * return meaningful results.
