class.ref is a valhalla'ism - but the present work is targetting JDK16 as a precursor/preparation for Valhalla. (even though the integration first happens to jep390 branch of Valhalla repo as a temporary home). So the .ref syntax is really not available to test/need not be tested.

As for the keyword, I am comfortable with it, but I will make it a point to solicit input at the next stage of review. (The accumulated cross component changes will get to a RFR when targetting jdk16)
