/**
 * A {@link Type} with generics.
 *
 * <p>Operations that are otherwise only available in {@link Class} are implemented to support
 * {@code Type}, for example {@link #isAssignableFrom}, {@link #isArray} and {@link
 * #getComponentType}. It also provides additional utilities such as {@link #getTypes} and {@link
 * #resolveType} etc.
 *
 * <p>There are three ways to get a {@code TypeToken} instance: <ul>
 * <li>Wrap a {@code Type} obtained via reflection. For example: {@code
 * TypeToken.of(method.getGenericReturnType())}.
 * <li>Capture a generic type with a (usually anonymous) subclass. For example: <pre>   {@code
 *   new TypeToken<List<String>>() {}}</pre>
 * <p>Note that it's critical that the actual type argument is carried by a subclass.
 * The following code is wrong because it only captures the {@code <T>} type variable
 * of the {@code listType()} method signature; while {@code <String>} is lost in erasure:
 * <pre>   {@code
 *   class Util {
 *     static <T> TypeToken<List<T>> listType() {
 *       return new TypeToken<List<T>>() {};
 *     }
 *   }
 *
 *   TypeToken<List<String>> stringListType = Util.<String>listType();}</pre>
 * <li>Capture a generic type with a (usually anonymous) subclass and resolve it against
 * a context class that knows what the type parameters are. For example: <pre>   {@code
 *   abstract class IKnowMyType<T> {
 *     TypeToken<T> type = new TypeToken<T>(getClass()) {};
 *   }
 *   new IKnowMyType<String>() {}.type => String}</pre>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>{@code TypeToken} is serializable when no type variable is contained in the type.
 *
 * <p>Note to Guice users: {@code} TypeToken is similar to Guice's {@code TypeLiteral} class
 * except that it is serializable and offers numerous additional utility methods.
