Right, it wouldn't be too hard but it would require a bit of plumbing to 
have it backed by the Memory* classes in the source file launcher. That 
said, a newbie starting out with "java HelloWorld.java" is unlikely to 
be writing code that needs the class bytes so it's more likely the more 
advanced cases where the code is using a library that needs the bytes.
