    """The Ceylon metamodel open type and declaration package.

       As described in the [ceylon.language.meta](../index.html) documentation, this package contains all
       the types that represent Ceylon declarations and open types.

       ### Usage example

       The following code will list all the classes in the `ceylon.language` package and print their
       extended type:

           for(decl in `package ceylon.language`.members<ClassDeclaration>()){
               if(exists extendedType = decl.extendedType){
                   print("Class ``decl.name`` extends: ``extendedType``");
               }else{
                   print("Class ``decl.name`` does not extend anything");
               }
           }

       The following code will iterate all the class declarations in the `ceylon.language` package that
       are not abstract, anonymous or annotations, and that have no type parameters nor initialiser
       parameters. For each matching class, we will apply it to get a class model which we can then
       use to instantiate the class and display its instance:

           for(decl in `package ceylon.language`.members<ClassDeclaration>()){
               if(!decl.abstract
                       && !decl.anonymous
                       && !decl.annotation
                       && decl.parameterDeclarations.empty
                       && decl.typeParameterDeclarations.empty){
                   Class<Object,[]> classModel = decl.classApply<Object,[]>();
                   Object instance = classModel();
                   print("Instance of ``decl.name`` is: ``instance``");
               }
           }
       """
