+ * Upon creation, a Scope is associated with a given program position;
+ * for example, a {@linkplain Tree tree node}. This position may be used to
+ * infer an enclosing method and/or class.
+ *
+ * <p>A Scope does not itself contain the details of the elements corresponding
+ * to the parameters, methods and fields of the methods and classes containing
+ * its position. However, these elements can be determined from the enclosing
+ * elements.
+ *
+ * <p>Scopes may be contained in an enclosing scope. The outermost scope contains
+ * those elements available via "star import" declarations; the scope within that
+ * contains the top level elements of the compilation unit, including any named
+ * imports.
