Review Request CR#7118743 : Alternative Hashing for String with Hash-based Maps [private fields]

[Vitaly Davidovich]

This is specific to private fields in inner classes - java allows access to
them from the outer class, but the JVM doesn't so javac generates synthetic
accessor methods for them.  Don't think it's a problem for JIT compiler
though as it should inline them.
