Class normalization strategy.

The normalized Class is the Class that Betwixt should introspect. This strategy class allows the introspected Class to be varied. This implementation simply returns the Class given.

Used by Betwixt to allow superclasses or interfaces to be subsittuted before an object is introspected. This allows users to feed in logical interfaces and make Betwixt ignore properties other than those in the interface. It also allows support for Proxy's. Together, these features allow Betwixt to deal with Entity Beans properly by viewing them through their remote interfaces.
