Description

Mentioned on the mailing list... After we release 2.4 I'd like to:

• import ConstructorUtils
• make CU.getMatchingAccessibleConstructor() public

• import MethodUtils

• factor best-match calculation code out of MethodUtils into abstract superclass MemberUtils, make ConstructorUtils extend MemberUtils and use the same code (be on the lookout for ways to improve best-match calcs; my original description was based on javadoc that said the first matching method encountered was used, but this comment seems to have been outdated).

• merge any other duplicate (or near-duplicate) code from CU/MethodU into MemberU and remove anything else that doesn't make sense in the context of Lang.
