/**

 A type of tokens that contain arbitrary Java objects. An instance of
 this class specifies the Java class that the contents of the
 ObjectTokens of that type must be instances of.

 <p>A special type lattice is defined for variants of ObjectType. The
 top element of the elements in the type lattice is an ObjectType that
 does not specify any Java class as the class for the contents of its
 tokens. In the expression language, that element can be referred to
 with "object" or "object()". Any ObjectToken conforms to this type. A
 subtype of this type specifies a Java class. In the expression
 language, such a subtype can be defined with "object(string)", where
 string is a string (starting and ending with a quote).  For example,
 the following expression refers to a variant of ObjectType to which
 only ObjectTokens containing atomic actors as their contents conform:
 <pre>object("ptolemy.actor.AtomicActor")</pre> This ObjectType is a
 subtype of the most general ObjectType, "object".  Furthermore, it is
 also a subtype of "object(\"ptolemy.kernel.Entity\")", and at the
 same time a supertype of "object(\"ptolemy.actor.lib.Const\")".

 <p>The bottom element of the type lattice is an artificial ObjectType
 with {@link BottomClass} as its specified Java class. In Java, the
 class hierarchy does not form a lattice, so this artificial type is
 needed to be the greatest lower bound for any two classes if one is
 not a subclass of the other.
