     * Sole constructor, which is private to ensure that all

     * <li>If the method is <code>Task.setLocation(Location)</code>,
     * <code>Task.setTaskType(String)</code>
     * or <code>TaskContainer.addTask(Task)</code>, it is ignored. These
     * methods are handled differently elsewhere.
     * <li><code>void addText(String)</code> is recognised as the method for
     * adding PCDATA to a bean.
     * <li><code>void setFoo(Bar)</code> is recognised as a method for
     * setting the value of attribute <code>foo</code>, so long as
     * <code>Bar</code> is non-void and is not an array type. Non-String
     * parameter types always overload String parameter types, but that is
     * the only guarantee made in terms of priority.
     * <li><code>Foo createBar()</code> is recognised as a method for
     * creating a nested element called <code>bar</code> of type
     * <code>Foo</code>, so long as <code>Foo</code> is not a primitive or
     * array type.
     * <li><code>void addConfiguredFoo(Bar)</code> is recognised as a
     * method for storing a pre-configured element called
     * <code>foo</code> and of type <code>Bar</code>, so long as
     * <code>Bar</code> is not an array, primitive or String type.
     * <code>Bar</code> must have an accessible constructor taking no
     * arguments.
     * <li><code>void addFoo(Bar)</code> is recognised as a
     * method for storing an element called <code>foobar</code>
     * and of type <code>Baz</code>, so long as
     * <code>Baz</code> is not an array, primitive or String type.
     * <code>Baz</code> must have an accessible constructor taking no
     * arguments.
     * </ul>
     * Note that only one method is retained to create/set/addConfigured/add
     * any element or attribute.
     *
     * @param bean The bean type to introspect.
     *             Must not be <code>null</code>.
