Thanks for forwarding Rémi. I did reply on concurrency-interest but I

I've created a bug to track this:

7146152: File.path should be final

It's something that should have been fixed a long time ago (it's always 
been non-final). It's just the readObject that requires work, to use 
unsafe as you suggest.
