Thanks Maurizio!

The confusing and unhelpful javadoc issues have been fixed.

In JDK-8268734 ("Various internal Type/Symbol APIs need rationalization/adjustment") I will follow up with a comprehensive review of all the Type and Symbol APIs - these APIs were rolled up as and when needed at widely different points in time 
and it is an useful exercise to take a step back and review them in a holistic fashion.

In JDK-8270882 (" Loose ends in reference default primitive class implementation.") I will follow up on the various known
issues that have been deliberately deferred to a later pass so as to make it more easily manageable,
