  The Scala Reflection API (located in scala-reflect.jar).

  In Scala 2.10.0, the Scala Reflection API and its implementation have an "experimental" status. This means that the API and the docs are not complete and can be changed in binary- and source-incompatible manner in 2.10.1. This also means that the implementation has some known issues.

  The following types are the backbone of the Scala Reflection API, and serve as a good starting point for information about Scala Reflection:

  - scala.reflect.api.Symbols
  - scala.reflect.api.Types
  - scala.reflect.api.Mirrors
  - scala.reflect.api.Universe

  For more information about Scala Reflection, see the Reflection Guide

  EXPERIMENTAL

  This trait defines `Name`s in Scala Reflection, and operations on them.

  Names are simple wrappers for strings. Name has two subtypes TermName and TypeName which distinguish names of terms (like objects or members) and types. A term and a type of the same name can co-exist in an object.

  To search for the `map` method (which is a term) declared in the `List` class, one can do:

      scala> typeOf[List[_]].member(TermName("map"))
      res0: reflect.runtime.universe.Symbol = method map

  To search for a type member, one can follow the same procedure, using `TypeName` instead.

  For more information about creating and using `Name`s, see the Reflection Guide: Annotations, Names, Scopes, and More

### Abstract Value Members

1.  abstract def decodedName: Name

   The decoded name, still represented as a name.

2.  abstract def encodedName: Name

   The encoded name, still represented as a name.

3.  abstract def isTermName: Boolean

   Checks whether the name is a term name

4.  abstract def isTypeName: Boolean

   Checks whether the name is a type name

5.  abstract def toTermName: TermName

   Returns a term name that wraps the same string as `this`

6.  abstract def toTypeName: TypeName

   Returns a type name that wraps the same string as `this`

7.  abstract def decoded: String

   Replaces all occurrences of $op_names in this name by corresponding operator symbols.

   Deprecated

     (Since version 2.12.16) Use `formatString.format(value)` instead of `value.formatted(formatString)`, or use the `f""` string interpolator. In Java 15 and later, `formatted` resolves to the new method in String which has reversed parameters.
