> The current implementation of {{EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals()}} uses
> object equality to test reference fields found in the class. It may be
> helpful to offer a method that recursively builds {{.equals()}} methods for
> each field and uses that to perform the comparison.
> This functionality could be further extended by accepting a list of classes
> to include/exclude. Classes that are excluded would use the normal object
> equality.
