/**
* <code>HashCode</code> generation routines.
* <p>
* This class enables a good hashcode to be built for any class. It follows
* the rules laid out in the book Effective Java, by Joshua Bloch. Writing a
* good hashCode is actually quite difficult. This class aims to simplify the
* process.
* <p>
* All relevant fields from the object should be included in the hashCode. Derived
* fields may be excluded. In general, any field used in the equals method must be
* used in the hashCode method.
* <p>
* To use this class write code as follows:
* <pre>
* public class Person {
* String name;
* int age;
* boolean isSmoker;
* ...
*
* public int hashCode() {
* // you pick a hard-coded, randomly chosen, non-zero, odd number
* // ideally different for each class
* return new HashCodeBuilder(17, 37).
* append(name).
* append(age).
* append(smoker).
* toHashCode();
* }
* }
* </pre>
* <p>
* Alternatively, there is a method that uses reflection to determine
* the fields to test. Because these fields are usually private, the method,
* <code>reflectionHashCode</code>, uses <code>Field.setAccessible</code> to
* change the visibility of the fields. This will fail under a security manager,
* unless the appropriate permissions are set. It is also slower than testing
* explicitly.
* <p>
* A typical invocation for this method would look like:
* <pre>
* public boolean hashCode(Object o) {
* return HashCodeBuilder.reflectionHashCode(this);
* }
* </pre>
