Helper for loading class instances
This is primarily used as a helper by
MappedLoader to dynamically
load in functions without a need to pre-register them. Since these class
names originate from URIs which may contain characters which are not valid in
Java class names this class implements a simple escaping scheme.
Escaping Scheme
Escaping is applied only to the last portion of the class name, typically
MappedLoader takes care of mapping a function library namespace
prefix into a java package name and likely only the last portion (the
function name) will require escaping.
If the first character of the class name is invalid it is replaced with
F_. If any subsequent characters are invalid they are ignored and the
subsequent valid character (if any) is promoted to upper case giving a camel
case style valid class name.
For example if the last portion of the class name were
foo-bar-fazthen we would end up with an escaped class name of
fooBarFaz.
