+ * Reading the constant pool entries
+ * When read from {@code class} files, the pool entries are lazily inflated; the contents of these entries, besides the
+ * bare structure, are not evaluated to speed up parsing. Entries to users interest, usually accessed from other models
+ * and elements, have their contents read on demand. For example, to search for methods, a user should filter first by

+ * In general, users do not need to worry about working with the constant pool and its entries when writing {@code
+ * class} files. Most Class-File API models and elements have two sets of factory methods: one that accepts symbolic
+ * information representing the uses, and another that accepts constant pool entries. The constant pool builder
+ * associated with {@code class} file builders, {@link ClassFileBuilder#constantPool}, automatically creates or reuses
+ * pool entries from the symbolic information. Validated data in symbolic information helps {@code class} file
+ * generation by avoiding extraneous parsing of raw constant pool entry data.
