/**
 * <p>
 * Rule implementation that calls a method on the (top-1) (parent) object, passing the top object (child) as an
 * argument. It is commonly used to establish parent-child relationships.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This rule now supports more flexible method matching by default. It is possible that this may break (some) code
 * written against release 1.1.1 or earlier. See {@link #isExactMatch()} for more details.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Note that while CallMethodRule uses commons-beanutils' data-conversion functionality (ConvertUtils class) to convert
 * parameter values into the appropriate type for the parameter to the called method, this rule does not. Needing to use
 * ConvertUtils functionality when building parent-child relationships is expected to be very rare; however if you do
 * need this then instead of using this rule, create a CallMethodRule specifying targetOffset of 1 in the constructor.
 * </p>
