    Binding creation is responsible for reporting all problems with types:

    - qualified name collisions between a type and a package (types in default packages are excluded)
    - all type hierarchy problems:
       - cycles in the superclass or superinterface hierarchy
       - an ambiguous, invisible or missing superclass or superinterface
       - extending a final class
       - extending an interface instead of a class
       - implementing a class instead of an interface
       - implementing the same interface more than once (i.e. duplicate interfaces)
    - with nested types:
       - shadowing an enclosing type's source name
       - defining a static class or interface inside a non-static nested class
       - defining an interface as a local type (local types can only be classes)
