/**
* Utility reflection methods focused on {@link Method}s, originally from Commons BeanUtils.
* Differences from the BeanUtils version may be noted, especially where similar functionality
* already existed within Lang.
*
*
* Known Limitations
* Accessing Public Methods In A Default Access Superclass
* There is an issue when invoking {@code public} methods contained in a default access superclass on JREs prior to 1.4.
* Reflection locates these methods fine and correctly assigns them as {@code public}.
* However, an {@link IllegalAccessException} is thrown if the method is invoked.
*
* {@link MethodUtils} contains a workaround for this situation.
* It will attempt to call {@link java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject#setAccessible(boolean)} on this method.
* 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 the method may fail.
*
* @since 2.5
