 **Classname[$InnerClass][pass:[*]]**
 
-Symbols representing class names are resolved to the Class instance. Inner or nested classes are separated from their outer class with a `$`. Fully-qualified class names are always valid. If a class is import`ed in the namespace, it may be used without qualification. All classes in java.lang are automatically imported to every namespace.

 Since 1.12, class symbols may end in one or more pass:[*]s to refer to an array of the class. The number of pass:[*]s indicates the array dimension. Array classes may also use a primitive component, e.g. `pass:[long*]`.
