/**
 * The {@code ClassFileVisitor} reads a class file using the
 * {@code com.sun.tools.classfile} library. It iterates over the methods
 * in a class, and checks MethodParameters attributes against JLS
 * requirements, as well as assumptions about the javac implementations.
 * <p>
 * It enforces the following rules:
 * <ul>
 * <li>All non-synthetic methods with arguments must have the
 * MethodParameters attribute. </li>
 * <li>At most one MethodParameters attribute per method.
 * <li>An empty MethodParameters attribute is not allowed (i.e. no
 * attribute for methods taking no parameters).</li>
 * <li>The number of recorded parameter names much equal the number
 * of parameters, including any implicit or synthetic parameters generated
 * by the compiler.</li>
 * <li>Although the spec allow recording parameters with no name, the javac
 * implementation is assumed to record a name for all parameters. That is,
 * the Methodparameters attribute must record a non-zero, valid constant
 * pool index for each parameter.</li>
 * <li>Check presence, expected names (e.g. this$N, $enum$name, ...) and flags
 * (e.g. ACC_SYNTHETIC, ACC_MANDATED) for compiler generated parameters.</li>
 * <li>Names of explicit parameters must reflect the names in the Java source.
 * This is checked by assuming a design pattern where any name is permitted
 * for the first explicit parameter. For subsequent parameters the following
 * rule is checked: <i>param[n] == ++param[n-1].charAt(0) + param[n-1]
 * </ul>
