Enhanced Class Redefinition JEP

[Sean Chou]

Great feature. I just have one consideration after reading the paper.

If A.a calls B.b calls C.c in application, A.a and C.c is going to be
redefined.
During running, a thread is executing in B.b just before invoking C.c when
the class redefine is triggered.

Will B.b invoke the new version of C'.c' or the old version C.c? I remember
the
current implementation is to invoke the new version.
