Well, this doesn't catch the case of trying to access the enclosing 
instance from the anonymous class, which is illegal. I thought that we 
could just make such classes static, which is what jikes does, but javac 
doesn't do this. Also the latest jikes has this in its changelog:

   - never set ACC_STATIC bit on local classes
   - make sure private methods and anonymous classes are always
      final, and anonymous classes are never static.


So, I think we need a way to treat them as static but not actually set the ACC_STATIC for the emitted class.

Bryce.
