    6.6.2.1 Access to a protected Member
    Let C be the class in which a protected member m is declared. Access is
    permitted only within the body of a subclass S of C. In addition, if Id
    denotes an instance field or instance method, then:
      • If the access is by a qualified name Q .Id , where Q is an
        ExpressionName, then the access is permitted if and only if the type
        of the expression Q is S or a subclass of S .
      • If the access is by a field access expression E .Id , where E is a
        Primary expression, or by a method invocation expression E .Id(...),
        where E is a Primary expression, then the access is permitted if and
        only if the type of E is S or a subclass of S .

What exactly is the relevance of “Id” to “m”? It seems like “Id” should be a 
protected member, but nowhere does it say this.
