045 * An object of this class encapsulates type mappings from type variables. Mappings are established
046 * with {@link #where} and types are resolved using {@link #resolveType}.
047 *
048 * <p>Note that usually type mappings are already implied by the static type hierarchy (for example,
049 * the {@code E} type variable declared by class {@code List} naturally maps to {@code String} in
050 * the context of {@code class MyStringList implements List<String>}). In such case, prefer to use
051 * {@link TypeToken#resolveType} since it's simpler and more type safe. This class should only be
052 * used when the type mapping isn't implied by the static type hierarchy, but provided through other
053 * means such as an annotation or external configuration file.

339         * implementation of TypeVariable, but the behavior of the built-in implementation differs
340         * across platforms:
341         *
342         * - Under the JDK, the built-in TypeVariable's equals() method doesn't recognize instances
343         *   of our TypeVariable implementation.
344         *
345         * - Under Android, it does.
346         *
347         * We want users to see the same behavior when they compare a built-in TypeVariable against
348         * ours as they do when they perform the same comparison in reverse. To provide that
349         * behavior on all platforms, TypeResolver must return the appropriate TypeVariable
350         * implementation in each of the three possible cases:
351         *
352         * 1. Under Android, the built-in TypeVariable implementation interoperates with ours.
353         * Therefore, we can always create our own TypeVariable. (One downside of our TypeVariable
354         * in some situations is that it does not support the AnnotatedType API. However, those
355         * situations don't arise under Android because Android does not provide the AnnotatedType
356         * API at all.)
357         *
358         * 2. Under the JDK, the built-in TypeVariable implementation does not interoperate with
359         * ours. Therefore, we have to be careful about whether we create our own TypeVariable:
360         *
361         * 2a. If the resolved types are identical to the original types, then we can return the
362         * original, identical JDK TypeVariable. By doing so, we sidestep the problem entirely.
363         *
364         * 2b. If the resolved types are different from the original types, things are trickier. The
365         * only way to get a TypeVariable instance for the resolved types is to create our own. The
366         * created TypeVariable will not interoperate with any JDK TypeVariable. But this is OK: We
367         * don't _want_ our new TypeVariable to be equal to the JDK TypeVariable because it has
368         * _different bounds_ than the JDK TypeVariable. And it wouldn't make sense for our new
369         * TypeVariable to be equal to any _other_ JDK TypeVariable, either, because any other JDK
370         * TypeVariable must have a different declaration or name. The only TypeVariable that our
371         * new TypeVariable _will_ be equal to is an equivalent TypeVariable that was also created
372         * by us. And that equality is guaranteed to hold because it doesn't involve the JDK
373         * TypeVariable implementation at all.
374         *
375         * NOTE: b/147144588 - Custom TypeVariables created by Guava do not preserve
376         * annotations. This is intentional. The semantics of annotation handling during
377         * type resolution are unclear and have changed across Java versions. Until there's
378         * a clear specification for what annotations should mean on resolved TypeVariables
379         * with modified bounds, annotation methods will throw
380         * UnsupportedOperationException. Frameworks requiring annotation preservation
