/**
 * A {@link Type} with generics.
 *
 * <p>Operations that are otherwise only available in {@link Class} are implemented to support
 * {@code Type}, for example {@link #isSubtypeOf}, {@link #isArray} and {@link #getComponentType}.
 * It also provides additional utilities such as {@link #getTypes}, {@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.
