This looks okay (just missing the a space in =Collections) but I'm 
curious if it does actual reduce the number of classes loaded at 
startup. I would think ArrayList and unmodifiable list would be popular.

(Your patch makes me wonder if Collections.unmodifiableXXX should return 
emptyXXX when the collection is empty).
