/**
 * Allows us to query any member field of an object (including a private one). This is useful for inspecting and
 * verifying the private member variables of an object in a test. Note that if you change a variable name, you'll
 * no longer get a compile failure for name mismatching, it'll only happen at runtime. This is why this method is
 * only used in tests (We don't do this style of reflection in the app itself). Example usage might be:
 *
 * class Dummy {
 *     private Context context;
 * }
 *
 * Dummy dummy = new Dummy();
 *
 * Context context = TestUtils.getPrivateField(dummy, "context");
 *
 * Return type is based on expected type. If expected type is ambiguous (say for a method that has multiple
 * implementations with various types), you can specify the exact return type with:
 *
 * someFunction(TestUtils.<Context>getPrivateField(dummy, "context");
 *
 * The fieldName is caseInsensitive. If more than one member variable has the same case-insensitive name, the results
 * are indeterminate. This method will check SuperClasses as well. Ordering always returns the value of the variable
 * closest to the current class. For instance, if the class of the object passed in has the field, that one will be
 * retrieved even if the SuperClass also has a field with the same name. If the SuperClass has the field and the
 * current class does not, the SuperClasses will be used, even if it's superClass also has the field declared.
 * Also, never use the same variable name with different cases. Seriously.
 *
 * @param target object to get a field of
 * @param fieldName case insensitive name of the field to retrieve the value of
 * @param <T> type of the field.
 * @return the value of the field named by fieldName in the passed in target object.
 * @throws NoSuchFieldException if the field named does not exist.
 * @throws IllegalAccessException in case it's impossible to access the field due to a permission error. Normally
 * shouldn't happen.
