/**
* When JSdoc encounters names it disables the automatic code inspection ability;
* this is especially problematic for cases like
*
* > @class MyClass
* > @constructor
*
* because the properties without an explicit @memberof or fullname are not being included in
* in the newer JSDoc output.
*
* This is a simple plugin, as discussed https://github.com/jsdoc3/jsdoc/issues/804#event-195287680
* to rewrite the @class [@constructor] to @alias @class which enables JSDoc to collect better data.
