        public static Diagnosticable findDiagnostic​(java.lang.Object ref)
        Given an object return instance of the diagnostic object for this class.

        Given an object this routine will determine the classname of the object and then try to instantiate a new instance of the diagnostic object for this class by prepending on "D_" to the last element of theclassname. If no matching class is found then the same lookup is made on the super-class of the object, looking all the way up the hierachy until a diagnostic class is found.
        This routine will call "init(ref)" on the new instance and then return the new instance.

        Parameters:
        ref - The object which to build the diagnostic object for.
        Returns:
        A new instance of the diagnostic object for input object, or null if one could not be found for some reason.
