/**
 * Modifier is a helper class with static methods to determine whether an
 * int returned from getModifiers() represents static, public, protected,
 * native, final, etc... and provides an additional method to print
 * out all of the modifiers in an int in order.
 * <p>
 * The methods in this class use the bitmask values in the VM spec to
 * determine the modifiers of an int. This means that a VM must return a
 * standard mask, conformant with the VM spec.  I don't know if this is how
 * Sun does it, but I'm willing to bet money that it is.
