  46:  * The Constructor class represents a constructor of a class. It also allows
  47:  * dynamic creation of an object, via reflection. Invocation on Constructor
  48:  * objects knows how to do widening conversions, but throws
  49:  * {@link IllegalArgumentException} if a narrowing conversion would be
  50:  * necessary. You can query for information on this Constructor regardless
  51:  * of location, but construction access may be limited by Java language
  52:  * access controls. If you can't do it in the compiler, you can't normally
  53:  * do it here either.<p>
  54:  *
  55:  * <B>Note:</B> This class returns and accepts types as Classes, even
  56:  * primitive types; there are Class types defined that represent each
  57:  * different primitive type.  They are <code>java.lang.Boolean.TYPE,
  58:  * java.lang.Byte.TYPE,</code>, also available as <code>boolean.class,
  59:  * byte.class</code>, etc.  These are not to be confused with the
  60:  * classes <code>java.lang.Boolean, java.lang.Byte</code>, etc., which are
  61:  * real classes.<p>
  62:  *
  63:  * Also note that this is not a serializable class.  It is entirely feasible
  64:  * to make it serializable using the Externalizable interface, but this is
  65:  * on Sun, not me.
