/**
* <p> Utility reflection methods focussed on constructors, modelled after {@link MethodUtils}. </p>
*
* <h3>Known Limitations</h3>
* <h4>Accessing Public Constructors In A Default Access Superclass</h4>
* <p>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 <code>IllegalAccessException</code> is thrown if the constructors is invoked.</p>
*
* <p><code>ConstructorUtils</code> contains a workaround for this situation.
* It will attempt to call <code>setAccessible</code> 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 privilages.
* If this call fails then a warning will be logged and the method may fail.</p>
