ReferenceTypeDelegate (aspectjweaver API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractReferenceTypeDelegate, BcelObjectType, GeneratedReferenceTypeDelegate, Java15ReflectionBasedReferenceTypeDelegate, ReflectionBasedReferenceTypeDelegate
```
public interface ReferenceTypeDelegate
```
Abstraction over a type - a reference type is Object or a descendant of Object, other types (int/etc) are considered primitive types. Abstract implementation provided by AbstractReferenceTypeDelegate.
