Description

InvokerHelper is primarily a grab bag of functionality associated with invoking methods. It also has numerous methods for formatting. Originally there were only a few such methods but the number has grown over time and additionally functionality would prove useful. It probably makes sense to split these to avoid abuse of the single responsibility principle.

Existing methods will remain and be deprecated. New functionality will only go in the new class.
