Please don't go farther down the path of "only JDK/proprietary classes 
can properly deserialize".  Bad enough that proper implementation of the 
spec requires using sun.reflect.ReflectionFactory.  Requiring Unsafe too 
would just be irritating.

How about putting this stuff on a public (if privileged) API *first*?
