Value type representing a namespace, type or member.

This value is _Comparable_ , the implementation of which considers _#getSort() (feature) sort_ , _#getNamespace() namespace_ , _#getTypeSimpleName() type simple name_ and _#getLogicalMemberName() member-logical-name_ .

If the represented member is an _action_ , then _#getLogicalMemberName() member-logical-name_ must *not* include any parameter list or parentheses. Consequently method overloading is not supported.

If there is a member name clash involving an _action_ and an _association_ , then consequently any permissions defined automatically apply to both and one cannot separate these.
