Yes, with Dan's changes it means this is another case of constants
referenced in native code but without any native methods on the defining
class. If it wasn't a candidate to include in the base module then it
would be a candidate for @GenerativeNativeHeaders. I believe that
annotation will soon be changed and will move to java.lang.annotation,
in which case the concerns about putting it on core classes will go away.
