Row to Object Mapping
---------------------
In cases of only one column being returned from the query (or two in the case of Map<K,V>), the same simple
column -> Object mapping described above will take place. If a more complex object is requested, column names or
indices are used to decide how to construct/map the object.
A single row can be represented by 3 main Objects:
1. Array, where each column is mapped by index, starting at 0, array type of course determines the type returned
2. Map<String, ?>, where each column is mapped by name as key, and column value as value, mapped according to type
a. consider using the supplied com.moparisthebest.jdbc.util.CaseInsensitiveHashMap where case is ignored for keys
3. Custom class Object, which attempts many different ways to map all returned columns to the class, if one of these
is not a perfect match, an exception is thrown at runtime with QueryMapper, and a compile-time error happens with
JdbcMapper. This is an ordered list of how rows are mapped to class objects:
1. If the class has a public constructor that takes a single java.sql.ResultSet parameter and nothing else, each row
is sent in to create a new object, nothing else is done.
2. If the class has a public constructor that takes the same number of arguments as columns returned, and all names
match (order does not matter), this constructor is used. This method has some requirements though:
a. Java 8+ only
b. requires -parameters argument to javac for runtime with QueryMapper, or compiling against classes without
source with JdbcMapper
c. Beware Java 8 only Bug ID [JDK-8191074](https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8191074),
fixed in Java 9+ but will not be backported to 8
