             nThis:

In order to make the right decision about whether to optimize field access and certain method, a 
function needs to be added to GCJ to determine if a class is in the same translation unit. It should 
also be possible for the user to specify that dispatch to certain classes or packages should be 
treated as non-binary-compatible, with a flag such as -fassume-local.
