/**
 *
 * A `ClassTag[T]` stores the erased class of a given type `T`, accessible via the `runtimeClass`
 * field. This is particularly useful for instantiating `Array`s whose element types are unknown
 * at compile time.
 *
 * `ClassTag`s are a weaker special case of [[scala.reflect.api.TypeTags#TypeTag]]s, in that they
 * wrap only the runtime class of a given type, whereas a `TypeTag` contains all static type
 * information. That is, `ClassTag`s are constructed from knowing only the top-level class of a
 * type, without necessarily knowing all of its argument types. This runtime information is enough
 * for runtime `Array` creation.
 *
 * For example:
 * {{{
 *   scala> def mkArray[T : ClassTag](elems: T*) = Array[T](elems: _*)
 *   mkArray: [T](elems: T*)(implicit evidence$1: scala.reflect.ClassTag[T])Array[T]
 *
 *   scala> mkArray(42, 13)
 *   res0: Array[Int] = Array(42, 13)
 *
 *   scala> mkArray("Japan","Brazil","Germany")
 *   res1: Array[String] = Array(Japan, Brazil, Germany)
 * }}}
 *
 * See [[scala.reflect.api.TypeTags]] for more examples, or the
 * [[http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/reflection/typetags-manifests.html Reflection Guide: TypeTags]]
 * for more details.
 *
