    023 * A class representing an argument for a constructor invocation to be used by a {@link BeanDeclaration}.
    024 * </p>
    025 * <p>
    026 * A {@code BeanDeclaration} can provide a list of instances of this class to define the constructor to be invoked on

    031 * The constructor to be invoked on the bean class has to be determined based on the types of the constructor arguments.
    032 * To avoid ambiguity, the type name can be explicitly provided.
