      Description

        The Element.asType methods gives a general description of its semantics. It would be helpful if the Element subinterfaces, PackageElement, VariableElement, etc. had type-specific descriptions of the behavior and semantics of asType.

        This pattern is already followed by Element.getEnclosedElements with overrides in subintefaces giving more detail.
