That might be an issue here. Just as (String)null and (String)"" are distinct
values in Java, in the class file a CP ref of zero differs from a CP ref to a
CONSTANT_Utf8 of the empty string "". But the method Class.isAnonymousClass
does not make a distinction between those two cases, which might sometimes lead
to confusion. I would view this as a bug in Class.isAnonymousClass.
