I've updated the webrev again based on feedback from Coleen.  I
changed arguments.cpp so that if a non-default StringTableSize is
used, it ensures that class data sharing is disabled.  See the same
url.

I plan to push this tomorrow; a review of this latest snippet isn't
critical (Coleen suggested the idea, and it's simply setting flag
values).
