What I mean is that if you decompile a Java class with this relatively
simple line, it has generated about 15 bytecodes plus a field - it lazily
instantiates the object. This will be a pain to code, but perfectly possible
(I'll just copy the decompiled code!)

But what about primitive types and array types. I'm guessing that quite a
few projects must run into the issue of converting Class to Type. Maybe a
new factory method on Type would be appropriate - Type.getType(Class) ?

PS. Thanks for the assistance and a great API. I was really pleased at how
easily I got up and running.
