/** Defines an interface for creating enumerations for type descriptions.

published interface XTypeDescriptionEnumerationAccess : com::sun::star::uno::XInterface
{
    /** Creates an enumeration for type descriptions.

        <p>An enumeration is always created for an UNOIDL module. The
        enumeration contents can be restricted by specifying type classes.
        Only types that match one of the supplied type classes will be part of
        the collection. Additionally, it is possible to specify the depth
        for the search within the underlying type description tree.

        @param moduleName
            contains the name of an UNOIDL module. Modules are seperated by a
            single '.' (i.e., "com.sun.star.reflection"). The root of the module
            hierarchy is specified with an empty string. Module names are always
            absolute, never relative.

        @param types
            restricts the contents of the enumeration. It will only contain
            type descriptions that match one of the supplied type classes. An
            empty sequence specifies that the enumeration shall contain all
            type descriptions.

            <p>Valid types classes are:
            <ul>
            <li><member scope="com::sun::star::uno">TypeClass::MODULE</member>
            <li><member scope="com::sun::star::uno">TypeClass::INTERFACE</member>
            <li><member scope="com::sun::star::uno">TypeClass::SERVICE</member>
            <li><member scope="com::sun::star::uno">TypeClass::STRUCT</member>
            <li><member scope="com::sun::star::uno">TypeClass::ENUM</member>
            <li><member scope="com::sun::star::uno">TypeClass::EXCEPTION</member>
            <li><member scope="com::sun::star::uno">TypeClass::TYPEDEF</member>
            <li><member scope="com::sun::star::uno">TypeClass::CONSTANT</member>
            <li><member scope="com::sun::star::uno">TypeClass::CONSTANTS</member>
            <li><member scope="com::sun::star::uno">TypeClass::SINGLETON</member>
            </ul>

        @param depth
            specifies the depth of search in the underlying tree of type
            descriptions. Clients should be aware of the fact that specifiying
            <member>TypeDescriptionSearchDepth::INFINITE</member> can lead to
            larger delays when constructing or using the
            <type>XTypeDescriptionEnumeration</type> instance.

        @returns
            an enumeration of type descriptions.

            <p>The enumeration returns implementations of
            <type>XTypeDescription</type>. Following concrete UNOIDL parts
            represented by specialized interfaces derived from
            <type>XTypeDescription</type> can be returned by the enumerator:
