I suggest further niceing:

- if you make typeVarBounds() static, you could use it in Stream.map() 
as a method reference.
- in Class.java line 285, you could also use Type::getTypeName method 
reference
- in Class.java line 269, wouldn't the output be nicer if the delimiter 
in joining collector was ", " instead of "," (with a space after comma)?

The same for Executable.

Regards, Peter
