Yes, I might refactor it away actually. We could also remove the special handling in verify for foreign classes. Currently I have to do the hack with reflection. I'd like to get rid of that.

This test is here for the cases where we need to include foreign, and because we need `@modules jdk.incubator.vector`. There is the other test that already exists and does not need this.
