I think I put this in, as a sketch of some changes we might try
to compact and un-relocate the reflection stuff. (By "un-relocate"
I refer to the goal of mimizing the need for the dynamic linker to
perform relocations. Idealy, most of the metadata should be in
shared readonly memory until the class is initialized.)
If people have a better plan, so much the better. What was there
certainly wasn't enough even to be suggestive.
