At some point, we might want to carefully look at both the JNI & reflecti=
on
stuff.  Ideally, reflection would use JNI functions when available, so th=
at
a VM would only need to implement JNI to get as much as reflection functi=
onal.

But, we must first find out if it is possible, because of the side effect=
s that
can be triggered or not by the various methods/functions (e.g. class
initialization, etc).
