/**
 * The Modifier class provides {@code static} methods and
 * constants to decode class and member access modifiers.  The sets of
 * modifiers are represented as integers with distinct bit positions
 * representing different modifiers.  The values for the constants
 * representing the modifiers are taken from the tables in sections
 * {@jvms 4.1}, {@jvms 4.4}, {@jvms 4.5}, and {@jvms 4.7} of
 * <cite>The Java Virtual Machine Specification</cite>.
 *
 * @apiNote
 * Not all modifiers that are syntactic Java language modifiers are
 * represented in this class, only those modifiers that <em>also</em>
 * have a corresponding JVM {@linkplain AccessFlag access flag} are
 * included. In particular the {@code default} method modifier (JLS
 * {@jls 9.4.3}) and the {@code sealed} and {@code non-sealed} class
 * (JLS {@jls 8.1.1.2}) and interface (JLS {@jls 9.1.1.4}) modifiers
 * are <em>not</em> represented in this class.
