Returns the rawInfo of the owner. If the current phase has flat classes, it first applies all pending type maps to this symbol.
assume this is the ModuleSymbol for B in the following definition: package p { class A { object B { val x = 1 } } }
The owner after flatten is "package p" (see "def owner"). The flatten type map enters symbol B in the decls of p. So to find a linked symbol ("object B" or "class B") we need to apply flatten to B first. Fixes #2470.

Access level encoding: there are three scala flags (PRIVATE, PROTECTED, and LOCAL) which combine with value privateWithin (the "foo" in private[foo]) to define from where an entity can be accessed.
Access level encoding: there are three scala flags (PRIVATE, PROTECTED, and LOCAL) which combine with value privateWithin (the "foo" in private[foo]) to define from where an entity can be accessed. The meanings are as follows:
PRIVATE access restricted to class only. PROTECTED access restricted to class and subclasses only. LOCAL can only be set in conjunction with PRIVATE or PROTECTED. Further restricts access to the same object instance.
In addition, privateWithin can be used to set a visibility barrier. When set, everything contained in the named enclosing package or class has access. It is incompatible with PRIVATE or LOCAL, but is additive with PROTECTED (i.e. if either the flags or privateWithin allow access, then it is allowed.)
The java access levels translate as follows:
java private: hasFlag(PRIVATE) && !hasAccessBoundary java package: !hasFlag(PRIVATE | PROTECTED) && (privateWithin == enclosing package) java protected: hasFlag(PROTECTED) && (privateWithin == enclosing package) java public: !hasFlag(PRIVATE | PROTECTED) && !hasAccessBoundary
