Re: [lang] new method on ClassUtils

[Stephen Colebourne]

While I support the addition of a get class method in principle, I am 
concerned that this brushes over the class loader issue. I would say that 
Class.forName() will often cause problems, so maybe this isn't the best way 
to code this.

I'd like to add ClassUtils.forName; to all intents and purposes the
same as Class.forName except that:
1) It understands arrays ending with [] instead of the [L<class>; 
ugliness.
2) It can handle primitives, "int" would correctly return int.class.
3) (perhaps?) null-safe. No idea really, just throwing it in :)
