* The factory class auto-generates static create methods for a class,

*
* The factory is used by class specifications to provide the class with static
* create methods.  i.e. the result of using a class_spec when defining class
* Foo will result in Foo having auto-generated static create methods.  Direct
* use of the factory for class instantiation is not supported.
*
* The factory supports constructors from zero to sixteen parameters. To help
* the template system it is best (though not required) that there are not
* multiple constructors with the same number of parameters. Classes wishing to
* provide custom create methods may simply define them in their class, and
* these will override and hide the factory auto-generated versions.
