        Method that will find all sub-classes and implemented interfaces of a given class or interface. Classes are listed in order of precedence, starting with the immediate super-class, followed by interfaces class directly declares to implemented, and then recursively followed by parent of super-class and so forth. Note that Object.class is not included in the list regardless of whether endBefore argument is defined or not.
        Parameters:
        endBefore - Super-type to NOT include in results, if any; when encountered, will be ignored (and no super types are checked).
