+/** <P> Java serialization (in java.io) expects to be able to
+    instantiate a class and invoke a no-arg constructor of that
+    class's first non-Serializable superclass. This is not a valid
+    operation according to the VM specification; one can not (for
+    classes A and B, where B is a subclass of A) write "new B;
+    invokespecial A()" without getting a verification error. </P>
+
+    <P> In all other respects, the bytecode-based reflection framework
+    can be reused for this purpose. This marker class was originally
+    known to the VM and verification disabled for it and all
+    subclasses, but the bug fix for 4486457 necessitated disabling
+    verification for all of the dynamically-generated bytecodes
+    associated with reflection. This class has been left in place to
+    make future debugging easier. </P> */
