Getter for ClassHierarchyResolverOption in ClassFile?

[Chen Liang]

Hello, I think ClassFile is designed so that a user create their own instance to perform operations. I don't envision using it as an argument to non-ClassFile-API endpoints. Can't you request a ClassHierarchyResolver directly?

Subject: Getter for ClassHierarchyResolverOption in ClassFile?

Hello,
Has it been considered before to add any form of getters for Options in a ClassFile? I would like to access the ClassHierarchyResolverOption from the ClassFile, to allow determining if a given class extends from / implements another.
Thank you for your time, C.
