+/**
+ * The Constructor class represents a constructor of a class. It also allows
+ * dynamic creation of an object, via reflection. Invocation on Constructor
+ * objects knows how to do widening conversions, but throws
+ * {@link IllegalArgumentException} if a narrowing conversion would be
+ * necessary. You can query for information on this Constructor regardless
+ * of location, but construction access may be limited by Java language
+ * access controls. If you can't do it in the compiler, you can't normally
+ * do it here either.<p>
+ *
+ * <B>Note:</B> This class returns and accepts types as Classes, even
+ * primitive types; there are Class types defined that represent each
+ * different primitive type. They are <code>java.lang.Boolean.TYPE,
+ * java.lang.Byte.TYPE,</code>, also available as <code>boolean.class,
+ * byte.class</code>, etc. These are not to be confused with the
+ * classes <code>java.lang.Boolean, java.lang.Byte</code>, etc., which are
+ * real classes.<p>
+ *
+ * Also note that this is not a serializable class. It is entirely feasible
+ * to make it serializable using the Externalizable interface, but this is
+ * on Sun, not me.
