```
public interface ModifierContributor
```
An element that describes a type modifier as described in the JVMS.

This allows for a more expressive and type safe alternative of defining a type's or type member's modifiers. However, note that modifier's that apply competing modifiers (such as private and protected should not be combined and will result in invalid types. An exception is thrown when built-in modifiers that cannot be combined are used together.
