/**
* Utility reflection methods focused on constructors, modeled after
* {@link MethodUtils}.
*
* Known Limitations
* Accessing Public Constructors In A Default Access Superclass
* There is an issue when invoking {@code public} constructors
* contained in a default access superclass. Reflection correctly locates these
* constructors and assigns them as {@code public}. However, an
* {@link IllegalAccessException} is thrown if the constructor is
* invoked.
*
* {@link ConstructorUtils} contains a workaround for this situation: it
* will attempt to call {@link java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject#setAccessible(boolean)} on this constructor. If this
* call succeeds, then the method can be invoked as normal. This call will only
* succeed when the application has sufficient security privileges. If this call
* fails then a warning will be logged and the method may fail.
*
* @since 2.5
