> @cl4es discovered that Stack Map generation in ClassFile API uses `componentType` and `arrayType` for `aaload` `aastore` instructions, which are currently quite slow. We can split out array class descriptors from class or interfaces to support faster `arrayType` and `componentType` operations.
> 
> Tentative, as I currently have no way to measure the actual impact of this patch on the startup performance; however, this made the `ClassDesc` implementations much cleaner.
