 * The mixin base class for API items that act as containers for other child items.

 *
 * This is part of the {@link ApiModel} hierarchy of classes, which are serializable representations of
 * API declarations.  The non-abstract classes (e.g. `ApiClass`, `ApiEnum`, `ApiInterface`, etc.) use
 * TypeScript "mixin" functions (e.g. `ApiDeclaredItem`, `ApiItemContainerMixin`, etc.) to add various
 * features that cannot be represented as a normal inheritance chain (since TypeScript does not allow a child class
 * to extend more than one base class).  The "mixin" is a TypeScript merged declaration with three components:
 * the function that generates a subclass, an interface that describes the members of the subclass, and
 * a namespace containing static members of the class.
 *
 * Examples of `ApiItemContainerMixin` child classes include `ApiModel`, `ApiPackage`, `ApiEntryPoint`,
 * and `ApiEnum`.  But note that `Parameter` is not considered a "member" of an `ApiMethod`; this relationship
 * is modeled using {@link (ApiParameterListMixin:interface).parameters} instead
 * of {@link ApiItem.members}.
