/**
 * <code>PredicateUtils</code> provides reference implementations and utilities
 * for the Predicate functor interface. The supplied predicates are:
 * <ul>
 * <li>Invoker - returns the result of a method call on the input object
 * <li>InstanceOf - true if the object is an instanceof a class
 * <li>Equal - true if the object equals() a specified object
 * <li>Identity - true if the object == a specified object
 * <li>Null - true if the object is null
 * <li>NotNull - true if the object is not null
 * <li>Unique - true if the object has not already been evaluated
 * <li>And/All - true if all of the predicates are true
 * <li>Or/Any - true if any of the predicates is true
 * <li>Either/One - true if only one of the predicate is true
 * <li>Neither/None - true if none of the predicates are true
 * <li>Not - true if the predicate is false, and vice versa
 * <li>Transformer - wraps a Transformer as a Predicate
 * <li>True - always return true
 * <li>False - always return false
 * <li>Exception - always throws an exception
 * <li>NullIsException/NullIsFalse/NullIsTrue - check for null input
 * <li>Transformed - transforms the input before calling the predicate
 * </ul>
 * All the supplied predicates are Serializable.
