Object.getClass() (was: Re: Vmxxx method vs. native method)

[Steven Augart]

If Object.getClass() were to forward to VMObject then I could probably 
 quickly implement VMObject in Jikes RVM and be done with yet another 
private version of an important system class.  We have a Java 
implementation of Object.getClass(), so native is not appropriate for 
our system.
