Class TypeName

java.lang.Object
com.ibm.wala.types.TypeName
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public final class TypeName extends Object implements Serializable
We've introduced this class to canonicalize Atoms that represent package names.

NB: All package names should use '/' and not '.' as a separator. eg. Ljava/lang/Class
