[External] : Re: ClassHierarchyResolver using Reflection information

[Brian Goetz]

After looking over this corner of the API, I think there's a little more 
design work that needs to go into it.  So let's step back from the 
details of "what's the default" until we have a chance to look a little 
more holistically at this part of the API.  I'll try to write more about 
it soon.
