     *
     *      In brief, a descriptor is a string representing the type of a field or method. Signatures are similar, but more
     *      complex. Signatures are used to encode declarations written in the Java programming language that use types
     *      outside the type system of the Java Virtual Machine. They are used to describe the type of any class, interface,
     *      constructor, method or field whose declaration uses type variables or parameterized types.
     *
     *      To parse a descriptor, call typeSignatureToString. To parse a signature, call signatureToString.
     *
     *      Note that if the signature string is a single, non-generic item, the call to signatureToString reduces to a call
     *      to typeSignatureToString. Also note, that if you only wish to parse the first item in a longer signature string,
     *      you should call typeSignatureToString directly.
