Scala example source code file (Symbols.scala)

This example Scala source code file (Symbols.scala) is included in my "Source Code Warehouse" project. The intent of this project is to help you more easily find Scala source code examples by using tags.

All credit for the original source code belongs to scala-lang.org; I'm just trying to make examples easier to find. (For my Scala work, see my Scala examples and tutorials.)

     *
     *  In order for such a dummy to provide meaningful info (e.g. a list of its members),
     *  it needs to go through unpickling. Unpickling is a process of reading Scala metadata
     *  from ScalaSignature annotations and assigning it to symbols and types.
     *
     *  A single unpickling session takes a top-level class or module, parses the ScalaSignature annotation
     *  and then reads metadata for the unpicklee, its companion (if any) and all their members recursively
     *  (i.e. the pickle not only contains info about directly nested classes/modules, but also about
     *  classes/modules nested into those and so on).
     *
     *  Unpickling is triggered automatically whenever info (info in compiler parlance) is called.
     *  This happens because package symbols assign completer thunks to the dummies they create.
     *  Therefore metadata loading happens lazily and transparently.
     *
     *  Almost transparently. Unfortunately metadata isn't limited to just signatures (i.e. lists of members).
     *  It also includes flags (which determine e.g. whether a class is sealed or not), annotations and privateWithin.
     *  This gives rise to unpleasant effects like in SI-6277, when a flag test called on an uninitialize symbol
     *  produces incorrect results.
     *
     *  One might think that the solution is simple: automatically call the completer
     *  whenever one needs flags, annotations and privateWithin - just like it's done for info.
     *  Unfortunately, this leads to weird crashes in scalac, and currently we can't attempt
     *  to fix the core of the compiler risk stability a few weeks before the final release.
     *  upd. Haha, "a few weeks before the final release". This surely sounds familiar :)
     *
     *  However we do need to fix this for runtime reflection, since this idionsynchrazy is not something
     *  we'd like to expose to reflection users. Therefore a proposed solution is to check whether we're in a
     *  runtime reflection universe, and if yes and if we've not yet loaded the requested info, then to commence initialization.
