/**
* Utility reflection methods focused on methods in general rather than properties in particular.

* Known Limitations
* Accessing Public Methods In A Default Access Superclass
* There is an issue when invoking public methods contained in a default access superclass.
* Reflection locates these methods fine and correctly assigns them as public.
* However, an IllegalAccessException is thrown if the method is invoked.
*
* MethodUtils contains a workaround for this situation.
* It will attempt to call setAccessible 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 privilages.
* If this call fails then a warning will be logged and the method may fail.
