No, that's not true. The important case is within Class itself, where
a call is made (eg) from Class.getPackage() to Class.getClassLoader().

Oh, good point. Oops - I must have been running an older build that didn't have this fix (and I saw the PR was still open so assumed it wasn't entirely fixed).

Still, I think that using getClassLoaderInternal() at least makes the code a bit clearer - and slightly more efficient.
