+     * This requires an accessibility check of the referencing class,

+     * A field or method R is accessible to a class or interface D if
+     * and only if any of the following conditions is true:<ul>
+     * <li>R is public.
+     * <li>R is protected and is declared in a class C, and D is either
+     *     a subclass of C or C itself.  Furthermore, if R is not
+     *     static, then the symbolic reference to R must contain a
+     *     symbolic reference to a class T, such that T is either a
+     *     subclass of D, a superclass of D or D itself.
+     * <li>R is either protected or has default access (that is,
+     *     neither public nor protected nor private), and is declared
+     *     by a class in the same runtime package as D.
+     * <li>R is private and is declared in D.
+     * </ul>
+     * This discussion of access control omits a related restriction
+     * on the target of a protected field access or method invocation
+     * (the target must be of class D or a subtype of D). That
+     * requirement is checked as part of the verification process
