> - Introduce the RuntimeType interface
> - Modify Class to implement RuntimeType
> - Introduce NullRestrictedClass as another implementation of RuntimeType
> - Provide ConstantDesc support for NullRestrictedClasses
> - Introduce reflection hooks to query RuntimeType of fields and arrays (just return Classes for now)
> - Provide ArrayCreation bootstraps to create arrays with RuntimeTypes, initial values, and flags (no runtime support for new features yet—implementation bottoms out at Array.newInstance)
> - Basic functionality testing of ArrayCreation bootstraps
