/**
 * A class loader for reflection.
 *
 * <p>To run a program, say <code>MyApp</code>,
 * including a reflective class,
 * you must write a start-up program as follows:
 *
 * <ul><pre>
 * public class Main {
 *   public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
 *     javassist.tools.reflect.Loader cl
 *         = (javassist.tools.reflect.Loader)Main.class.getClassLoader();
 *     cl.makeReflective("Person", "MyMetaobject",
 *                       "javassist.tools.reflect.ClassMetaobject");
 *     cl.run("MyApp", args);
 *   }
 * }
 * </pre></ul>
 *
 * <p>Then run this program as follows:
 *
 * <ul><pre>% java javassist.tools.reflect.Loader Main arg1, ...</pre></ul>
 *
 * <p>This command runs <code>Main.main()</code> with <code>arg1</code>, ...
 * and <code>Main.main()</code> runs <code>MyApp.main()</code> with
 * <code>arg1</code>, ...
 * The <code>Person</code> class is modified
 * to be a reflective class.  Method calls on a <code>Person</code>
 * object are intercepted by an instance of <code>MyMetaobject</code>.
 *
 * <p>Also, you can run <code>MyApp</code> in a slightly different way:
 *
 * <ul><pre>
 * public class Main2 {
 *   public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
 *     javassist.tools.reflect.Loader cl = new javassist.tools.reflect.Loader();
 *     cl.makeReflective("Person", "MyMetaobject",
 *                       "javassist.tools.reflect.ClassMetaobject");
 *     cl.run("MyApp", args);
 *   }
 * }
 * </pre></ul>
 *
 * <p>This program is run as follows:
 *
 * <ul><pre>% java Main2 arg1, ...</pre></ul>
 *
 * <p>The difference from the former one is that the class <code>Main</code>
 * is loaded by <code>javassist.tools.reflect.Loader</code> whereas the class
 * <code>Main2</code> is not.  Thus, <code>Main</code> belongs
 * to the same name space (security domain) as <code>MyApp</code>
 * whereas <code>Main2</code> does not; <code>Main2</code> belongs
 * to the same name space as <code>javassist.tools.reflect.Loader</code>.
 * For more details,
 * see the notes in the manual page of <code>javassist.Loader</code>.
 *
 * <p>The class <code>Main2</code> is equivalent to this class:
 *
 * <ul><pre>
 * public class Main3 {
 *   public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
 *     Reflection reflection = new Reflection();
 *     javassist.Loader cl
 *         = new javassist.Loader(ClassPool.getDefault(reflection));
 *     reflection.makeReflective("Person", "MyMetaobject",
 *                               "javassist.tools.reflect.ClassMetaobject");
 *     cl.run("MyApp", args);
 *   }
 * }
 * </pre></ul>
 *
 * <p><b>Note:</b>
 *
 * <p><code>javassist.tools.reflect.Loader</code> does not make a class reflective
 * if that class is in a <code>java.*</code> or
 * <code>javax.*</code> pacakge because of the specifications
 * on the class loading algorithm of Java.  The JVM does not allow to
 * load such a system class with a user class loader.
 *
 * <p>To avoid this limitation, those classes should be statically
 * modified with <code>javassist.tools.reflect.Compiler</code> and the original
 * class files should be replaced.
