JSR 202 class literals?

Hi,

Are there plans to add support in Soot for class literals
as proposed by JSR 202(*)? In short, this proposal allows a
CONSTANT_Class to be used for Java expressions like "Foo.class".
Soot would then require a new Value which is a ClassRef or
whatever. I'd guess the overall changes would be minimal.

Since this proposal seems likely to go through, it might be a
good idea to go ahead and add support in Soot now before the new
bytecode starts appearing in classfiles (and crashing Soot).

Thanks,
-Archie
