Description
Type.toString and Symbol.toString should be implemented by the means of a type/symbol visitor. Only a vistor could ensure the degree of flexibility required by the ongoing work on javac diagnostics that aims at improving the interoperability between the javac diagnostic systems and the type-system area.
