public interface Name
An immutable sequence of characters. When created by the same
implementation, objects implementing this interface must obey the
general equals contract when compared
with each other. Therefore, Name objects from the same
implementation are usable in collections while Names from
different implementations may not work properly in collections.
An empty Name has a length of zero.
In the context of annotation processing, the guarantees for "the same" implementation must include contexts where the API mediated side effects of processors could be visible to each other, including successive annotation processing rounds.

boolean equals(Object obj)
true if the argument represents the same
name as this, and false otherwise.
Note that the identity of a Name is a function both
of its content in terms of a sequence of characters as well as
the implementation which created it.
