public interface Declaration
extends TypeObject

A Declaration is a type object that has declarations and uses. Some instances may be uses of the declaration; these have references to the original declaration. For example, extensions may perform substitutions on the original declaration to produce the type object for a use of the declaration. To make it easy to create distinct uses by copying the original declaration object, copy() will preserve the pointer to the original declaration; it won't update it to point to the copy. A Declaration used as a declaration has a reference to itself.
