This is more like an addon module to Class-File API; it is only run when users call `ClassFile::verify`. Otherwise, Class-File API performs minimal validation that's required to generate or parse class files.
The verification can be performed on both arbitrary byte array (may be built by Class-File API) or a ClassModel (always loaded from a byte array)
