Since you asked me offline about some startup noise from this patch I took a
look. This line might be another small contributor, since it means we're
loading `jlr.TypeVariable` on JVM bootstrap. It would be nice if we could move
this to `TypeVariable`, but we don't support private/package-private interface
fields for some reason. Shouldn't we though, now that we have private interface
fields, etc..?
