Re-reading this thread, I think i've forgotten to mention an important
thing,
defineAnonymousClass also *do not* verify that the provided bytecode is
legal,
it's important because skipping bytecode verification allow to skip the
creation of
StackMap frames when generating bytecodes which is an important speedup
factor
if your runtime as no interpreter.
