For .class notation, see https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8221323
where there is an express request not to support these:

"Moving forward it looks like we want to say "Foo.class" for class 
constant (ldc Class) in source code. If you want the boxed/value class 
mirror, you need to use Class.asBoxType()/asValueType() methods."

Any difference of opinion ??
