类的类别-顶级类，内嵌类、内部类、本地类、内名类

    // There are five kinds of classes (or interfaces):
    // a) Top level classes
    // b) Nested classes (static member classes)
    // c) Inner classes (non-static member classes)
    // d) Local classes (named classes declared within a method)
    // e) Anonymous classes

在看自动装配类的如何扫描拥有的注解的时候，发现了这一段，对类进行了区分，包括 顶级类，内嵌类（静态成员类）、内部类（非静态成员类）、本地类（使用方法名声明的类）、内名类
