I guess it doesn't really matter. I may have missed the non-public-ness
of the class. I don't remember Sun's rules for not extending java.*,
but non-public classes may be ok.
Still, I do think as a matter of style it would be cleaner to have
an implementation-specific class in gnu.gcj.* rather than java.lang.
