     * Factory Generator class
     * A factory generator is useful for cases where a large number of late-bound
     * classes need to be instantiated.
     *
     * Normally, to create an instance of type t, you call the following code:
     *
     *      ISomeInterface o = (ISomeInterface) Activator.CreateInstance(t);
     *
     * This assumes that the default constructor is used, and that the type t
     * implements the interface ISomeInterface.
     *
     * The factory generator, on the other hand, can use reflection emit APIs
     * to dynamically generate a class factory for t. The generated class has
     * the equivalent of the following code:
     *
     *      class X : ISomeInterfaceFactory {
     *          public ISomeInterface CreateInstance() {
     *              return new t();
     *          }
     *      }
     *
     * It then instantiates and returns an object of this type. You can then
     * call CreateInstance to create an instance of the type, which is
     * significantly faster.
     *
     * A single instance of a FactoryGenerator can generate factories for
     * multiple types. However, it builds all these types into a single
     * dynamically generated assembly. CLR implementation prevents this
     * assembly from being unloaded until the process exits.
     *
     * The FactoryGenerator is (almost) a templated type. It takes two
     * types in its constructor:
     *
     *   returnedType is the type common to all classes for which factories
     *      are to be generated. In the example above, this would be
     *      ISomeInterface.
     *   factoryInterface is the interface implemented by the dynamically
     *      generated class factory, and should include a method named
     *      CreateInstance, that takes no parameters and returns an object
     *      of the type specified by returnedType. In the example above,
     *      this would be ISomeInterfaceFactory.
