The actual annotations don't need a reference to a class, but perhaps
we need to open up a way to refer to a class in an annotation even
though the actual class is not defined yet. Ideas on how we could do
that? Maybe a way to pre-tag a Ruby class with its fully-qualified
java class name and pass a Ruby class in? We could then use that name
when reifying the class, so that we don't have to dump everything in
the "ruby.*" package.
