It could but leave it as is. I found that this change breaks the hack

but I think it's better to separate this incompatibility from this
issue. I modified the fix to change the modifiers of the root and
child field object be the same.

Code using this hack should be seeing "Illegal reflective access"
warnings today and it will eventually break. However, in the mean-time,
I think what you have looks good.
