/**
 * A strategy definition that is used by the {@link ObjectNavigator} to

 * navigation.
 *
 * As well, for now this class is also responsible for excluding entire
 * classes.  This is somewhat a mixing of concerns for this object, but
 * it will suffice for now.  We can always break it down into two
 * different strategies later.
