/**
* 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 public constructors
* contained in a default access superclass. Reflection locates these
* constructors fine and correctly assigns them as public. However, an
* IllegalAccessException is thrown if the constructors is
* invoked.
*
* ConstructorUtils contains a workaround for this situation. It
* will attempt to call setAccessible 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.
*
