 * {@code AccessibleObject} is the superclass of all member reflection classes
 * (Field, Constructor, Method). AccessibleObject provides the ability to toggle
 * a flag controlling access checks for these objects. By default, accessing a
 * member (for example, setting a field or invoking a method) checks the
 * validity of the access (for example, invoking a private method from outside
 * the defining class is prohibited) and throws IllegalAccessException if the
 * operation is not permitted. If the accessible flag is set to true, these
 * checks are omitted. This allows privileged code, such as Java object
 * serialization, object inspectors, and debuggers to have complete access to
 * objects.
