/**
 * Object that allows access to the static members of a class (its static
 * methods, properties, and fields), as well as construction of instances using
 * {@link StandardOperation#NEW} operation. In Dynalink, {@link Class} objects
 * are not treated specially and act as ordinary Java objects; you can use e.g.
 * {@code GET:PROPERTY:superclass} as a property getter to
 * invoke {@code clazz.getSuperclass()}. On the other hand, you can not use
 * {@code Class} objects to access static members of a class, nor to create new
 * instances of the class using {@code NEW}. This is consistent with how
 * {@code Class} objects behave in Java: in Java, you write e.g.
 * {@code new BitSet()} instead of {@code new BitSet.class()}. Similarly, you
 * write {@code System.out} and not {@code System.class.out}. It is this aspect
 * of using a class name as the constructor and a namespace for static members
 * that {@code StaticClass} embodies.
 * <p>
 * Objects of this class are recognized by the {@link BeansLinker} as being
 * special, and operations on them will be linked against the represented class'
 * static members. The {@code "class"} synthetic property is additionally
 * recognized and returns the Java {@link Class} object, just as in Java
 * {@code System.class} evaluates to the {@code Class} object for the
 * {@code} System class. Conversely, {@link Class} objects exposed through
 * {@link BeansLinker} expose the {@code "static"} synthetic property which
 * returns their {@code StaticClass} object (there is no equivalent to this in
 * Java).
 * <p>
 * In summary, instances of this class act as namespaces for static members and
 * as constructors for classes, much the same way as specifying a class name in
 * Java language does, except that in Java this is just a syntactic element,
 * while in Dynalink they are expressed as actual objects.
 * <p>{@code StaticClass} objects representing Java array types will act as
 * constructors taking a single int argument and create an array of the
 * specified size.
 * <p>
 * If the class has several constructors, {@link StandardOperation#NEW} on
 * {@code StaticClass} will try to select the most specific applicable
 * constructor. You might want to expose a mechanism in your language for
 * selecting a constructor with an explicit signature through
 * {@link BeansLinker#getConstructorMethod(Class, String)}.
