## Inheritance Semantics:
Decorators:
1) list the decorators of the class and its parents in the ancestor first order
2) only use the last decorator of each kind (e.g. @Component / ...)
Constructor parameters:
If a class inherits from a parent class and does not declare
a constructor, it inherits the parent class constructor,
and with it the parameter metadata of that parent class.
Lifecycle hooks:
Follow the normal class inheritance model,
i.e. lifecycle hooks of parent classes will be called
even if the method is not overwritten in the child class.
## Example
E.g. the following is a valid use of inheritance and it will
also inherit all metadata:
```
@Directive({selector: 'someDir'})
class ParentDirective {
constructor(someDep: SomeDep) {}
ngOnInit() {}
}
class ChildDirective extends ParentDirective {}
```

Also rename `CompileIdentifierMetadata.runtime` into `CompileIdentifierMetadata.reference`.
Also remove `CompileIdentifierMetadata.equalsTo` as
now it is enough to just check the `reference` fields for equality.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Exceptions are no longer part of the public API. We don't expect that anyone should be referring to the Exception types.
ExceptionHandler.call(exception: any, stackTrace?: any, reason?: string): void;
change to:
ErrorHandler.handleError(error: any): void;
Closes#9729
BREAKING CHANGE:
`Type` is now `Type<T>` which means that in most cases you have to
use `Type<any>` in place of `Type`.
We don't expect that any user applications use the `Type` type.
Adds new abstraction `Compiler` with methods
`compileComponentAsync` and `compileComponentSync`.
This is in preparation of deprecating `ComponentResolver`.
`compileComponentSync` is able to compile components
synchronously given all components either have an inline
template or they have been compiled before.
Also changes `TestComponentBuilder.createSync` to
take a `Type` and use the new `compileComponentSync` method.
Also supports overriding the component metadata even if
the component has already been compiled.
Also fixes#7084 in a better way.
BREAKING CHANGE:
`TestComponentBuilder.createSync` now takes a component type
and throws if not all templates are either inlined
are compiled before via `createAsync`.
Closes#9594
Implement the ability to provide objects as request body. The following use cases
are supported:
* raw objects: a JSON payload is created and the content type set to `application/json`
* text: the text is used as it is and no content type header is automatically added
* URLSearchParams: a form payload is created and the content type set to `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
* FormData: the object is used as it is and no content type header is automatically added
* Blob: the object is used as it is and the content type set with the value of its `type` property if any
* ArrayBuffer: the object is used as it is and no content type header is automatically added
