/** This phase performs the following functions, each of which could be split out in a
 *  mini-phase:
 *
 *  (1) Adds super accessors for all super calls that either
 *  appear in a trait or have as a target a member of some outer class.
 *
 *  (2) Converts references to parameter fields that have the same name as a corresponding
 *  public parameter field in a superclass to a reference to the superclass
 *  field (corresponding = super class field is initialized with subclass field).
 *  This info is pre-computed by the `alias` field in Typer. `dotc` follows a different
 *  route; it computes everything in SuperAccessors and changes the subclass field
 *  to a forwarder instead of manipulating references. This is more modular.
 *
 *  (3) Adds protected accessors if the access to the protected member happens
 *  in a class which is not a subclass of the member's owner.
 *
 *  (4) Mangles the names of class-members which are
 *  private up to an enclosing non-package class, in order to avoid overriding conflicts.
 *  This is a dubious, and it would be better to deprecate class-qualified privates.
 *
 *  (5) This phase also sets SPECIALIZED flag on type parameters with
 *  `@specialized` annotation. We put this logic here because the
 *  flag must be set before pickling.
 *
 *  It also checks that:
 *
 *  (1) Symbols accessed from super are not abstract, or are overridden by
 *  an abstract override.
 *
 *  (2) If a symbol accessed accessed from super is defined in a real class (not a trait),
 *  there are no abstract members which override this member in Java's rules
 *  (see SI-4989; such an access would lead to illegal bytecode)
 *
 *  (3) Super calls do not go to some synthetic members of Any (see isDisallowed)
 *
 *  (4) Super calls do not go to synthetic field accessors
 *
 *  (5) A class and its companion object do not both define a class or module with the
 *  same name.
 *
 *  TODO: Rename phase to "Accessors" because it handles more than just super accessors
