If there is more than one constructor with the maximum number of parameters, it is not determined which will be returned (don't build a class like that!). In addition, if a constructor is annotated with `Inject`, it will be used (no check for multiple such constructors is made, only at most a single constructor should have the annotation).

    - #### sortedKeys

          public static java.util.List<java.lang.String> sortedKeys​(java.util.Map map)

      Extracts the string keys from a map and returns them in sorted order. The keys are converted to strings.

          public static java.lang.String toUserPresentable​(java.lang.String id)

      Capitalizes the string, and inserts a space before each upper case character (or sequence of upper case characters). Thus "userId" becomes "User Id", etc. Also, converts underscore into space (and capitalizes the following word), thus "user_id" also becomes "User Id".

    - #### extractIdFromPropertyExpression

          public static java.lang.String extractIdFromPropertyExpression​(java.lang.String expression)

      Used to convert a property expression into a key that can be used to locate various resources (Blocks, messages, etc.). Strips out any punctuation characters, leaving just words characters (letters, number and the underscore).
      Parameters:
        `expression` - a property expression
      Returns:
        the expression with punctuation removed
