* Utility abstract class used to work around Java type erasure.

* For example there is no way to declare a Class<List<String>> as
* opposed to Class<List<Integer>>.
* The workaround consists in forcing the inheritance from a special generic class, then inspected
* via reflection, to obtain the generic type rather than the class object.
