+Interesting aspects of Java reflection applied to scala classes. TL;DR: you should not use
+getSimpleName / getCanonicalName / isAnonymousClass / isLocalClass / isSynthetic.
+
+ - Some methods in Java reflection assume a certain structure in the class names. Scalac
+ can produce class files that don't respect this structure. Certain methods in reflection
+ therefore give surprising answers or may even throw an exception.
+
+ In particular, the method "getSimpleName" assumes that classes are named after the Java spec
+ http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se8/html/jls-13.html#jls-13.1
+
+ Consider the following Scala example:
+ class A { object B { class C } }
+
+ The classfile for C has the name "A$B$C", while the classfile for the module B has the
+ name "A$B$".
+
+ For "cClass.getSimpleName, the implementation first strips the name of the enclosing class,
+ which produces "C". The implementation then expects a "$" character, which is missing, and
+ throws an InternalError.
+
+ Consider another example:
+ trait T
+ class A { val x = new T {} }
+ object B { val x = new T {} }
+
+ The anonymous classes are named "A$$anon$1" and "B$$anon$2". If you call "getSimpleName",
+ you get "$anon$1" (leading $) and "anon$2" (no leading $).
+
+ - There are certain other methods in the Java reflection API that depend on getSimpleName.
+ These should be avoided, they yield unexpected results:
+
+ - isAnonymousClass is always false. Scala-defined classes are never anonymous for Java
+ reflection. Java reflection insepects the class name to decide whether a class is
+ anonymous, based on the name spec referenced above.
+ Also, the implementation of "isAnonymousClass" calls "getSimpleName", which may throw.
+
+ - isLocalClass: should be true true for local classes (nested classes that are not
+ members), but not for anonymous classes. Since "isAnonymousClass" is always false,
+ Java reflection thinks that all Scala-defined anonymous classes are local.
+ The implementation may also throw, since it uses "isAnonymousClass":
+ class A { object B { def f = { class KB; new KB } } }
+ (new A).B.f.getClass.isLocalClass // boom
+
+ - getCanonicalName: uses "getSimpleName" in the implementation. In the first example,
+ cClass.getCanonicalName also fails with an InternalError.
+
+ - Scala-defined classes are never synthetic for Java reflection. The implementation
+ checks for the SYNTHETEIC flag, which does not seem to be added by scalac (maybe this
+ will change some day).
