Abstract superclass for representing the generic type information for
 a reflective entity.
 The code is not dependent on a particular reflective implementation.
 It is designed to be used unchanged by at least core reflection and JDI.

Protected Constructors
 
    
      
    
      
  Constructor. Should only be used by subclasses. Concrete subclasses
 should make their constructors private and provide public factory
 methods.
 
  
      Parameters
      
        
          | rawSig
           | - the generic signature of the reflective object
 that this repository is servicing | 
        
        
          | f
           | - a factory that will provide instances of reflective
 objects when this repository converts its AST
