      Returns:
        an instantiate transformer

    - #### transform

          public T transform(Class<? extends T> input)

      Transforms the input Class object to a result by instantiation.
      Specified by:
        `transform` in interface `Transformer<Class<? extends T>,T>`
      Parameters:
        `input` - the input object to transform
