 * <p>For example, to create a type literal for {@code List<String>}, you can
 * create an empty anonymous inner class:
 *
 * <p>
 * {@code TypeToken<List<String>> list = new TypeToken<List<String>>() {};}
 *
 * <p>This syntax cannot be used to create type literals that have wildcard
 * parameters, such as {@code Class<?>} or {@code List<? extends CharSequence>}.
