> From Garrett Buster Kaminaga:
> The EvalFunc constructor has code to determine the return type of the function.
> This walks up the object hierarchy until it encounters EvalFunc, then calls getActualTypeArguments and extracts type
> param 0.
> However, if the user class is itself a generic extension of EvalFunc, then the returned object is not the correct type,
> but a TypeVariable.
> Example:
>   class MyAbstractEvalFunc<T> extends EvalFunc<T> ...
>   class MyEvalFunc extends MyAbstractEvalFunc<String> ...
> when MyEvalFunc() is called, inside EvalFunc constructor the return type is set to a TypeVariable rather than
> String.class.
> The workaround we've implemented is for the MyAbstractEvalFunc<T> to determine *its* type parameters using code
> similar to that in the EvalFunc constructor, and then reset protected data member returnType manually in the
> MyAbstractEvalFunc constructor.  (though this has the same drawback of not working if someone then extends
> MyAbstractEvalFunc)
