      This implementation compares the path of its URI to the given simple name. This method returns true if the given kind is equal to the kind of this object, and if the path is equal to `simpleName + kind.extension` or if it ends with `"/" + simpleName + kind.extension`.

      This method calls `getKind()` and `toUri()` and does not access the fields `uri` and `kind` directly.

      Subclasses can change this behavior as long as the contract of `JavaFileObject` is obeyed.

      Specified by:
        `isNameCompatible` in interface `JavaFileObject`

      Specified by:
        `getNestingKind` in interface `JavaFileObject`
      Returns:
        the nesting kind, or `null` if the nesting kind is not known

    - #### getAccessLevel

          public Modifier getAccessLevel()

      This implementation returns `null`. Subclasses can change this behavior as long as the contract of `JavaFileObject` is obeyed.
      Specified by:
        `getAccessLevel` in interface `JavaFileObject`
      Returns:
        the access level

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Description copied from class: `Object`
      Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the `toString` method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

      The `toString` method for class `Object` returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character ``@`', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

      >      getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        a string representation of the object.
