/**
 * The Field class represents a member variable of a class. It also allows
 * dynamic access to a member, via reflection. This works for both
 * static and instance fields. Operations on Field objects know how to
 * do widening conversions, but throw {@link IllegalArgumentException} if
 * a narrowing conversion would be necessary. You can query for information
 * on this Field regardless of location, but get and set access may be limited
 * by Java language access controls. If you can't do it in the compiler, you
 * can't normally do it here either.<p>
 *
 * <B>Note:</B> This class returns and accepts types as Classes, even
 * primitive types; there are Class types defined that represent each
 * different primitive type.  They are <code>java.lang.Boolean.TYPE,
 * java.lang.Byte.TYPE,</code>, also available as <code>boolean.class,
 * byte.class</code>, etc.  These are not to be confused with the
 * classes <code>java.lang.Boolean, java.lang.Byte</code>, etc., which are
 * real classes.<p>
 *
 * Also note that this is not a serializable class.  It is entirely feasible
 * to make it serializable using the Externalizable interface, but this is
 * on Sun, not me.
