KotlinDetector	A common delegate for detecting Kotlin's presence and for identifying Kotlin types.
KotlinReflectionParameterNameDiscoverer	ParameterNameDiscoverer implementation which uses Kotlin's reflection facilities for introspecting parameter names.
MethodClassKey	A common key class for a method against a specific target class, including MethodClassKey.toString() representation and Comparable support (as suggested for custom HashMap keys as of Java 8).

MethodParameter	Helper class that encapsulates the specification of a method parameter, i.e.
NamedInheritableThreadLocal<T>	InheritableThreadLocal subclass that exposes a specified name as NamedInheritableThreadLocal.toString() result (allowing for introspection).
