/**
 * Assists in implementing {@link Object#toString()} methods.
 *
 * <p>This class enables a good and consistent {@code toString()} to be built for any
 * class or object. This class aims to simplify the process by:</p>
 * <ul>
 *  <li>allowing field names</li>
 *  <li>handling all types consistently</li>
 *  <li>handling nulls consistently</li>
 *  <li>outputting arrays and multi-dimensional arrays</li>
 *  <li>enabling the detail level to be controlled for Objects and Collections</li>
 *  <li>handling class hierarchies</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>To use this class write code as follows:</p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * public class Person {
 *   String name;
 *   int age;
 *   boolean smoker;
 *
 *   ...
 *
 *   public String toString() {
 *     return new ToStringBuilder(this).
 *       append("name", name).
 *       append("age", age).
 *       append("smoker", smoker).
 *       toString();
 *   }
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>This will produce a toString of the format:
 * {@code Person@7f54[name=Stephen,age=29,smoker=false]}</p>
 *
 * <p>To add the superclass {@code toString}, use {@link #appendSuper}.
 * To append the {@code toString} from an object that is delegated
 * to (or any other object), use {@link #appendToString}.</p>
 *
 * <p>Alternatively, there is a method that uses reflection to determine
 * the fields to test. Because these fields are usually private, the method,
 * {@code reflectionToString}, uses {@code AccessibleObject.setAccessible} to
 * change the visibility of the fields. This will fail under a security manager,
 * unless the appropriate permissions are set up correctly. It is also
 * slower than testing explicitly.</p>
 *
 * <p>A typical invocation for this method would look like:</p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * public String toString() {
 *   return ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(this);
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>You can also use the builder to debug 3rd party objects:</p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * System.out.println("An object: " + ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(anObject));
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>The exact format of the {@code toString} is determined by
 * the {@link ToStringStyle} passed into the constructor.</p>
 *
 * @since 1.0
