Description
Using the Tree API you can determine if a type is accessible in a given scope.

We need an additional method to determine if an element is accessible as a member of a type in a given scope.
Comments
EVALUATION Will be best to move the existing isAccessible(TypeElement type) from Scope to the utility Types class and add a new method there: public abstract boolean isAccessible(Scope scope, javax.lang.model.element.Element member, javax.lang.model.type.DeclaredType type)
