Properties

val className: String

The full name of the Java class implementing the primitive.

val name: String

The name by which a primitive function is declared in Avail code.

val primitive: Primitive

The sole instance of the specific subclass of Primitive. It is initialized only when needed for the first time, since that causes Java class loading to happen, and we'd rather smear out that startup performance cost.
