Hi,

due to recent interest to optimize Class.isAnonymousClass[1] I took
a look at the implementation and found that we can further improve
performance of this method, especially when asking non-anonymous
classes[2].

As such calls are a common occurrence during startup and bootstrap
of lambdas this actually appears rather worthwhile:

Thanks!
