Oh, I'm sorry, I think see what you mean. If a VM would take a binary

Is this an important scenario? I thought you long haired types didn't
like binary distributions ;-)
OK now I get it too... I call this idea of imposing VM-specific versions
of a class in front of the stock Classpath versions "overlaying" instead
of "overriding" to avoid confusion :-)
Yes, I think not breaking "overlaying" is important.. so a static method
(with comment why being used) would be better.
