/**
 * Represents a schema type.
 * <p>
 * SchemaType is the metadata "type" class for {@link XmlObject}, and it plays the
 * analogous role for {@link XmlObject} that {@link java.lang.Class} plays for
 * {@link java.lang.Object}.
 * <p>
 * Every XML Bean class corresponds to a singleton SchemaType object
 * obtainable by ClassName.type (e.g., {@link XmlNonPositiveInteger#type}), and
 * every XML Bean instance has an actual SchemaType, obtainable by
 * {@link XmlObject#schemaType}.  The ClassName.type and schemaType() mechanisms are
 * analogous to the ordinary Java ClassName.class and obj.getClass() mechanisms.
 * <p>
 * All schema types are represented by a SchemaType, this includes all types
 * regardless of whether they are built-in or user-defined, compiled or
 * uncompiled, simple or complex.
 * <p>
 * In addition, a compiled XML Bean type system includes special "document" schema types
 * each representing a document containing nothing but a single element for each
 * global element, and special "attribute" schema types each representing
 * a fragment containing nothing but a single global attribute for global
 * attribute.
 * <p>
 * Do not confuse Schema Types with other types of Schema Components such as
 * {@link SchemaGlobalElement Global Elements}, {@link SchemaGlobalAttribute Global Attributes},
 * {@link SchemaModelGroup Named Model Groups}, or {@link SchemaAttributeGroup Attribute Groups}.
 * SchemaType represents a Type component, not any of the other kinds of components.
 * There are different kinds of metadata objects for the different Schema components.
 * <p>
 * The space of SchemaTypes is divided as follows:
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>First, there is the universal base type and the universal
 *     subtype.  These are {@link XmlObject#type}
 *     (corresponding to xs:anyType) and {@link XmlBeans#NO_TYPE},
 *     respectively.  The first type is a base type of all other
 *     types.  The other type indicates the absence of type information
 *     and, at least in set-theoretic terms, is a subtype of all other types.
 * <li>There is another universal base type that is the base type
 *     for all simple types.  This is the {@link XmlAnySimpleType#type},
 *     corresponding to xs:anySimpleType.   Only XmlObject.type and
 *     XmlAnySimpleType.type return <code>true</code> for {@link #isURType}, and
 *     only XmlBeans.NO_TYPE returns <code>true</code> for {@link #isNoType}.
 * <li>The two "special" kinds of types that are generated that
 *     do not formally exist in the actual Schema specification are
 *     document types and global attribute types (corresponding to
 *     documents that contain a global element, or fragments that
 *     contain a global attribute).  They can be detected using
 *     {@link #isDocumentType} and {@link #isAttributeType}. Other
 *     than their anonymity (lack of a type name) and their appearance
 *     only at the root of an instance, they are otherwise just like
 *     ordinary complex types.
 * <li>Simple types can be detected using {@link #isSimpleType}.
 *     Complex types are consdered to be all the types that are
 *     not simple.
 * <li>Simple types are divided into three varieties: atomic types,
 *     list types, and union types.  Which variety of simple type
 *     you have can be discoverd using {@link #getSimpleVariety}.
 *     It will return either {@link #ATOMIC}, {@link #LIST}, or
 *     {@link #UNION}.
 * <li>An {@link #ATOMIC} simple type is always based on one of the
 *     20 built-in primitive schema types.  You can determine
 *     the underlying primitive type for an atomic simple type
 *     by calling {@link #getPrimitiveType}.  An atomic type
 *     may add facet restrictions on top of the primitive type,
 *     and these facets can be explored using {@link #getFacet},
 *     {@link #getWhiteSpaceRule}, {@link #matchPatternFacet},
 *     {@link #getEnumerationValues}, and related methods.
 * <li>A {@link #LIST} simple type is always based on another non-list
 *     simple type.  The underlying list item type can be obtained
 *     by using {@link #getListItemType}.
 * <li>A {@link #UNION} simple type is always composed out of a number of
 *     other simple types.  The direct members of the union can
 *     be obtained by {@link #getUnionMemberTypes}.  When unions
 *     consist of other unions, it is useful to know useful to know
 *     the "leaves of the union tree", so the
 *     set of non-union types making up the union can be obtained
 *     by {@link #getUnionConstituentTypes}.  The closure of the
 *     entire "union tree" is {@link #getUnionSubTypes} (this includes
 *     the type itself).  For
 *     simple unions that do not consist of other unions, all three
 *     of these sets are the same.
 * <li>Complex types have nested structure.  They are divided into
 *     four content types: empty content, simple content, element-only
 *     content, and mixed content.  All kinds of complex types may
 *     have attributes.  The content type for a complex type can
 *     be dermined using {@link #getContentType}.  This will return
 *     {@link #EMPTY_CONTENT}, {@link #SIMPLE_CONTENT},
 *     {@link #ELEMENT_CONTENT}, or {@link #MIXED_CONTENT}.
 * <li>If a complex type has {@link #EMPTY_CONTENT}, the content model will be null.
 * <li>If a complex type has {@link #SIMPLE_CONTENT}, then it will extend the
 *     simple type that describes the content.  In addition, the type
 *     may impose additional simple type facet restrictions; these can
 *     be determined in the same way they are for a simple type.
 * <li>If a complex type has {@link #ELEMENT_CONTENT} or {@link #MIXED_CONTENT}, then
 *     the detailed content model can be determined by examining
 *     the particle tree (which may be null for MIXED_CONTENT).
 *     The particle tree can be obtained via {@link #getContentModel}.
 * <li>When working with a complex type, most users will find it
 *     sufficient to discover the summarized shape of the content model
 *     and attribute model using {@link #getElementProperties},
 *     {@link #getAttributeProperties}, and related methods rather than
 *     examining the particle tree and attribute model directly.
 * </ul>
