Marker interface for a member element of a ClassModel. Such an element can appear when traversing a ClassModel unless otherwise specified, be supplied to a ClassBuilder, and be processed by a ClassTransform.

AccessFlags, and ClassFileVersion are member elements of a class that appear exactly once during the traversal of a ClassModel. Superclass and Interfaces may be absent or appear at most once. A ClassBuilder may provide an alternative superclass if it is not defined but required.
