/** The core class for wrapping classes as annotated classes.
* The annotated class provides access to all declared and inherited
* annotations from classes and interfaces. Also the annotated class
* provides wrapping for its methods for gathering all declared and inherited
* annotations for it from base classes and interfaces.
*
* By now only public methods can inherit annotations with the mechanism.
*
* Note: This class is a modified version of the original Fusionsoft Annotation
* library. See: {@link http://www.fusionsoft-online.com/articles-java-annotations.php}
