Ugh. You can have classes named after primitive types in the unnamed
package... Bah. Seems like there is not very much we can do about that
since the class name in the serial stream is given as its (fully
qualified) name, not its type descriptor (like done for array types or
fields). The serial version uid and/or fields and methods will most
likely be different so you will get a InvalidClassException from the
checkTypeConsistency() method.
