/**
 * The Java mapping of the IDL enum <code>TCKind</code>, which
 * specifies the kind of a <code>TypeCode</code> object.  There is
 * one kind for each primitive and essential IDL datatype.
 * <P>
 * The class <code>TCKind</code> consists of:
 * <UL>
 * <LI>a set of <code>int</code> constants, one for each
 * kind of IDL data type.  These <code>int</code> constants
 * make it possible to use a <code>switch</code> statement.
 * <LI>a set of <code>TCKind</code> constants, one for each
 * kind of IDL data type.  The <code>value</code> field for
 * each <code>TCKind</code> instance is initialized with
 * the <code>int</code> constant that corresponds with
 * the IDL data type that the instance represents.
 * <LI>the method <code>from_int</code>for converting
 * an <code>int</code> to its
 * corresponding <code>TCKind</code> instance
 * <P>Example:
 * <PRE>
 *      org.omg.CORBA.TCKind k = org.omg.CORBA.TCKind.from_int(
 *                         org.omg.CORBA.TCKind._tk_string);
 * </PRE>
 * The variable <code>k</code> represents the <code>TCKind</code>
 * instance for the IDL type <code>string</code>, which is
 * <code>tk_string</code>.
 * <P>
 * <LI>the method <code>value</code> for accessing the
 * <code>_value</code> field of a <code>TCKind</code> constant
 * <P>Example:
 * <PRE>
 *   int i = org.omg.CORBA.TCKind.tk_char.value();
 * </PRE>
 * The variable <code>i</code> represents 9, the value for the
 * IDL data type <code>char</code>.
 * </UL>
 * <P>The <code>value</code> field of a <code>TCKind</code> instance
 * is the CDR encoding used for a <code>TypeCode</code> object in
 * an IIOP message.
