/**
 * <div>
 * Checks visibility of class members. Only static final, immutable or annotated
 * by specified annotation members may be public;
 * other class members must be private unless the property {@code protectedAllowed}
 * or {@code packageAllowed} is set.
 * </div>
 *
 * <p>
 * Public members are not flagged if the name matches the public
 * member regular expression (contains {@code "^serialVersionUID$"} by
 * default).
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Note that Checkstyle 2 used to include {@code "^f[A-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$"} in the default pattern
 * to allow names used in container-managed persistence for Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 1.1 with
 * the default settings. With EJB 2.0 it is no longer necessary to have public access for
 * persistent fields, so the default has been changed.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Rationale: Enforce encapsulation.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Check also has options making it less strict:
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * <b>ignoreAnnotationCanonicalNames</b> - the list of annotations which ignore
 * variables in consideration. If user want to provide short annotation name that
 * type will match to any named the same type without consideration of package.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * <b>allowPublicFinalFields</b> - which allows public final fields.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * <b>allowPublicImmutableFields</b> - which allows immutable fields to be
 * declared as public if defined in final class.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Field is known to be immutable if:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>It's declared as final</li>
 * <li>Has either a primitive type or instance of class user defined to be immutable
 * (such as String, ImmutableCollection from Guava, etc.)</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>
 * Classes known to be immutable are listed in <b>immutableClassCanonicalNames</b>
 * by their canonical names.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Property Rationale: Forcing all fields of class to have private modifier by default is
 * good in most cases, but in some cases it drawbacks in too much boilerplate get/set code.
 * One of such cases are immutable classes.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Restriction: Check doesn't check if class is immutable, there's no checking
 * if accessory methods are missing and all fields are immutable, we only check
 * if current field is immutable or final.
 * Under the flag <b>allowPublicImmutableFields</b>, the enclosing class must
 * also be final, to encourage immutability.
 * Under the flag <b>allowPublicFinalFields</b>, the final modifier
 * on the enclosing class is optional.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Star imports are out of scope of this Check. So if one of type imported via
 * star import collides with user specified one by its short name - there
 * won't be Check's violation.
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * Property {@code allowPublicFinalFields} - Allow final fields to be declared as public.
 * Type is {@code boolean}.
 * Default value is {@code false}.
 * </li>

 * declared as public if defined in final class.
 * Type is {@code boolean}.

 * </li>
