It seems that if signature isn't an exact math (e.g., takes a List but arg is an ArrayList), callMethod doesn't work. Confirm exact details of what works and what doesn't work.

Experiment with getParameterTypes() to inspect params of declared methods.

Investigate code in checkParams from http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/Java/0125__Reflection/Findmethod.htm

Should reset accessibility of fields and methods to previous value after they are accessed or called. Not critical for unit tests, but good practice, especially if someone had a good use case for using Privateer outside of unit tests.

Check out if callMethod can even be used when an arg is a primitive. If so, use primitive type wrapper, e.g., Integer.TYPE, for the primitive.

When calling invoke(), may need to create objects for primitives, e.g., Integer.valueOf(int), unless autoboxing takes care of this.

Currently accesses fields and methods declared only on class of the object. Could walk hierarchy to look for matches.
