/**
* Assists in creating consistent {@code equals(Object)}, {@code toString()}, {@code hashCode()}, and {@code compareTo(Object)} methods.
* These classes are not thread-safe.
*
* When you write a {@link java.lang.Object#hashCode() hashCode()}, do you check Bloch's Effective Java? No?
* You just hack in a quick number?
* Well {@link org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.HashCodeBuilder} will save your day.
* It, and its buddies ({@link org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.EqualsBuilder}, {@link org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.CompareToBuilder}, {@link org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.ToStringBuilder}), take care of the nasty bits while you focus on the important bits, like which fields will go into making up the hashcode.

* @see java.lang.Object#hashCode()
