/// This hierarchy is a super hierarchy of the use-case specific hierarchies
/// used in different parts of the compiler. This hierarchy abstracts details
/// not generally needed or required for the Dart type hierarchy. For instance,
/// the hierarchy in 'resolution_types.dart' has properties supporting lazy
/// computation (like computeAlias) and distinctions between 'Foo' and
/// 'Foo<dynamic>', features that are not needed for code generation and not
/// supported from kernel.
///
/// Current only 'resolution_types.dart' implement this hierarchy but when the
/// compiler moves to use [Entity] instead of [Element] this hierarchy can be
/// implemented directly but other entity systems, for instance based directly
/// on kernel ir without the need for [Element].
